It is likely this winter will be as challenging as any before it and will require high vigilance from all on site to prevent diffuse pollution
Every site should have a diffuse pollution risk assessment and management plan. The risk assessment will highlight the highest risk factors, and our experience will help decide on the best ways to control water on site.
Remember any drain that is connected to a water course, is a water course itself. Good planning and preparatory works is key in preventing problems down the line. The earlier water is controlled and directed over vegetated ground the better. This prevents such large amounts gathering, which are then harder to contain and control.
Critical control points should be identified where issues are most likely to arise and require the highest level of monitoring. All machine operators, supervisors and managers on site must have completed our online diffuse pollution training. The QR code below will allow you to register.
