This 1 day course aims to suitably prepare attendees in the assessment, identification and compliance with Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) requirements and form a solid learning base for staff involved with ESC. The course is focussed towards Site Supervisors, Foreman, Engineers and Project Managers.
The content of the Level 2 course is based on the training package developed by Grant Witheridge, the Author of the IECA 2008 document “Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control” and delivered by O2 under exclusive licence.
O2 Environment + Engineering is a specialist environmental and engineering consultancy that focuses on ESC plan preparation and implementation. In addition, O2 is widely regarded within the industry by both construction personnel and regulators as leaders within the field of erosion and sediment control.
Courses are delivered by Terry Clark (Technical Services Manager – ESC) or Tom Bailey (Environmental Engineer) of O2. Both Terry and Tom hold the internationally recognised accreditation ‘Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control’ (CPESC) and both have years of experience in plan preparation, auditing and on ground advice in Erosion and Sediment Control for a wide variety of linear infrastructure (roads, pipelines, rail, transmission lines), major developments (residential, commercial, industrial, major plant and fixed infrastructure), mines, landfills and quarry based projects.
