Policy Statement

Woodhart Construction Limited is committed to effectively managing environmental performance to minimise the impact of our business processes on the environment and within the communities we operate. We will comply with relevant environmental legislation, regulations and codes of practice and strive to implement best practice. To achieve the necessary standards of environmental awareness, Woodhart Group will commit to:

  • Integrate environmental management into each aspect of our day-to-day business operation to ensure environmental issues are addressed.
  • Comply with environmental legislation and best practice.
  • Comply with the requirements of the EU Timber Regulations and the Timber and Timber Products (Placing on the Market) Regulations 2013.
  • Seek to reduce wastage of resources such as energy, water, and raw materials, and maximise the efficient use of such resources, reuse and recycle rather than dispose of such materials.
  • Ensure all employees have an understanding and are trained in their responsibilities in relation to the environmental policy and procedures.
  • Monitor Company activities on a regular basis to identify strengths and areas for improvement where actions may be required.
  • Review Company environmental impacts on a regular basis.

Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the Managing Director to actively lead and support the implementation of the company policy and procedures.

  • All employees and contractors must ensure they understand the requirements of this Environmental Policy and abide with the requirements of the Company Environmental Procedures and ensure all works are conducted with minimum risk to the environment.
  • We will ensure that all subcontractors / suppliers working on our behalf hold appropriate environmental permits/ licenses (e.g., asbestos removal, waste carrier, etc.).

Waste Management

The Company is committed to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of its employees and of others who may be affected by the waste materials, which result from our work.  Our policy is to arrange for the disposal of all waste products regularly, safely and in accordance with statutory requirements.

Waste will be kept to a minimum.  Only licensed waste contractors will be used to dispose of waste.  Our sub-contractors shall be encouraged to apply the principals of this policy but shall be required to ensure they comply with the minimum relevant legislation.

Where practicable, consideration will be given to material re-use, recycling or recovery before disposal options are explored.

Noise / Dust

Noise and dust will be suppressed, where practical, to ensure that no nuisance is caused to neighbouring properties, contractors or the public.

Review

Woodhart Construction Limited will regularly review this policy and revise it as required in response to stakeholder feedback, changes in general practices and legislation.  Our reviews ensure that our procedures continue to exceed regulatory criteria and are applied properly, fairly and effectively.

This policy statement will be prominently displayed at all workplaces and made available to the public and other interested parties upon request.
