Bywaters is very pleased to announce that due to the success of the CIWM accredited Resource Awareness Certificate Course launched in January 2007, we have now added a construction module.
Construction and demolition Resources account for some 25% of the total Resource generated in the UK. This Resource is eminently recyclable and/or reusable and new legislation is to be put in place to reduce Resource and improve recovery of these materials.
It is anticipated that every construction project with a budget in excess of £250,000 will need to comply with the new legislation, which requires each project to have a site Resource management plan. These plans will need to address the generation and management of Resources produced on site (and will be required to name a responsible person for managing the Resources produced) as well as outlining just what the construction company plans to do with the Resources. This is a method employed to get the industry to think ahead and try to get them to reuse and recycle more of the Resource that they produce.
For this reason, the CIWM decided to augment their basic Resource Awareness Certificate course by adding a "Construction Resource" module. This is the course that Bywaters is currently presenting. We are one of only two training centres in London and the Southern Counties to roll out this new module.
