CDM ADVISORS IN BRACKNELL, TUNBRIDGE WELLS AND THE SOUTH OF ENGLAND
SUSTAINABILITY COMPLIANCE AUDITS
We recently completed a sustainability compliance audit on an active construction site and the results were very encouraging. In addition to being CDM advisors, M.L.A. offers a range of consultancy services built around safety and, of course, achieving sustainability goals.
Areas covered by our company include:
Basingstoke | Bracknell | Guildford | Reading | Tunbridge Wells
We also cover all surrounding counties and the UK.
POSITIVE OBSERVATIONS
- Effective waste segregation and recycling, with plasterboard, metals and glass all separated for re-use or recycling
- Evidence of material re-use onsite, such as blinds stored for reinstatement and timber repurposed for protective coverings
- Strong environmental awareness among supervisors, supported by policies referencing legislation and recognised standards
- Good housekeeping, efficient use of resources and the safe use of energy-saving measures such as LED lighting installations
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT
During the audit, we highlighted several opportunities for further enhancement, including:
- Developing a formal Air Quality and Dust Management Plan
- Creating a Spill Response Plan to complement spill kits
- Toolbox talks to cover sustainability themes such as waste reduction, energy efficiency and biodiversity
- carbon tracking templates to record project-specific impacts like travel mileage, waste generation and management
OUTCOMES DELIVERED
As a result of the audit, the contractor achieved:
- A bespoke Air Quality and Dust Management Plan
- A tailored Spill Response Plan
- Sustainability-focused toolbox talks to engage workforces
- supporting evidence for PQQs, accreditations and ISO audits
These outcomes improve compliance and give contractors demonstrable evidence of progress against client, regulatory and accreditation requirements. As you can see, we are more than just CDM advisors. Our company has a passion for sustainability in construction.
