Did you know the Environmental Management on Construction Sites (EMCS) role is distinct from the Ecological Clerk of Works (ECOW)? While there can be some overlap, defining roles early in the project is important. If an ECOW isn't contracted, the EMCS role may expand to cover additional responsibilities. In the absence of an ECOW, EMCS may undertake: - Compliance with environmental assessments and planning conditions - Pre-construction checks for sensitive habitats and species - Pollution monitoring and dewatering control - Development of mitigation and restoration plans Read more about this course now 👉 https://lnkd.in/eFQubAhr
