What measures have been introduced through the new Regulations for the Environmental Management of Construction Sites?

The regulations have introduced a number of measures that will aid in minimising nuisance to neighbours and the public, reduce discharges to the environment including dust emissions and spillages of building materials and improve the visual impact of construction sites and their immediate environment.

One of these measures includes that:

Adequate facilities and measures shall be undertaken to ensure that the site and its immediate vicinity are kept clean. Any trash or debris shall be contained on site and disposed of in closed waste receptacles to avoid wind, rain or any other movement related to the construction.

Prior to any vehicular movement from within the site to any public area, all wheeled plant shall be obliged to have their tyres washed off any material, dirt, grime or any other material that may be carried out into the public area.
