ABOUT THIS TRAINING The expanding human population and industrialisation are increasing the demand for energy worldwide. This has resulted in numerous challenges such as environmental pollution, reliable supply of fossil fuels, and increased demand of electricity supply, which must be overcome. To fulfil the energy demands and overcome these challenges, numerous projects and funds are involved in finding an adequate solution. Transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and road travel accounts for three-quarters of transport emissions. Most of this comes from passenger vehicles. Emission limits are increasingly stringent, and the fuel industry must change its approach to product formulation to meet the challenge.

They are then asked to rank these impacts in terms of their significance, using guidelines provided to help them be aware of the contributing factors (eg, frequency, severity). For a selected number of the impacts, the participants are asked to identify what control measures there are and which of these they play a part in. All stages can be discussed with trainers as a whole group at various stages during the workshop. 5 PROTECTED SPECIES, NATURE CONSERVATION AND INVASIVE WEEDS * Nature conservation, landscape and visual issues in the planning process - overview of key nature UK wildlife legislation, EIA, appropriate timing of surveys, Hedgerow regulations and landscape and visual impact issues * Ecological issues - ecological legislation, significant species, hedgerows * Archaeology in the development process - why archaeology is important, organisation in the UK, legislation and planning guidance * Construction phase issues and consents - major environmental issues during construction, including water resources and land drainage consents, discharges to land or water, water abstraction, public rights of way, tree protection, waste management, Special waste, noise, good practice pollution control and Environmental Audits * Identification and management of invasive weeds - including legal position regarding management 6 CHEMICALS AND FUELS HANDLING AND STORAGE * How health and safety management is closely linked to environmental management of materials * Planning - what mechanisms are in place for planning materials use; legislation, guidance and policies which define how to manage materials * Materials storage - what are the considerations for storing materials, covering: * Labels: what are the different types and what do they tell us? * Storage facilities: what are the requirements for safe storage of materials (eg, signs, secondary containment, access, segregation, lids/covers) * Handling: safe handling for protecting the environment, organisational procedures, high risk situations (eg, decanting, deliveries), how to reduce the risks (eg, use of funnels, proper supervision, training) * COSHH and MSDS: brief explanation of legislation and its role in environmental control of hazardous materials, how to use the information provided by COSHH assessments * Option: These sessions can be illustrated with photographs/pictures and examples of good and bad storage and handling practices * Workshop Options: Labelling Quiz - quick-fire quiz on what different labels tell us; Build a Storage Facility - participants are asked to consider all the environmental requirements for building a safe storage facility for their organisation 7 ON-SITE CONTROL MEASURES * Overview of the legislation associated with nuisance issues on site and mitigating problems when they arise * Examples of bad practice, including fuel storage tanks and mobile equipment - costs involved with prosecution of fuel spills, remediation costs, management costs, legal fees, bad PR coverage * Identification and management of contaminated land and relevant legislation * Workshop option: Participants are provided with a site plan containing information on site features, environmental conditions and indications of potential issues 8 WASTE MANAGEMENT * Why worry about waste? - a look at how waste disposal can impact on the environment, illustrated by examples of waste-related incidents, statistics on waste production on national, industry-wide and organisational levels, landfill site space, etc * Legislation - overview of the relevant legislation, what the main requirements of the regulations are, what penalties there are, and the associated documentation (waste transfer notes) * Waste classification - a more in-depth look at how waste is classified under legislation according to hazardous properties, referring to Environment Agency guidance * Handling and storage requirements - what are the requirements of the applicable waste legislation and how are they covered by organisational procedures?
