Energy

  • Is energy usage in site accommodation being used efficiently i.e. lights not being left on, computer equipment not being left running when not being used etc?

  • Is energy on site being used efficiently i.e. lights not left on, equipment and machinery not left running idle etc?

  • Are energy saving techniques being used on site e.g. daylight sensors, zoned lighting, connection to Ecotricity for green electricity?

  • Is temporary site lighting (security / task) located / directed correctly to ensure best energy use?

  • Are hybrid, electric or cleantech plant and equipment being used?

Ecology and biodiversity

  • Have all nesting species on site (if applicable) been adequately protected to ensure that they are not adversely effected?

  • Have all trees in the working area (if applicable) been adequately protected and signed in accordance with BS5837?

  • Where there is evidence of rats, pigeons or other vermin on site have all appropriate measures and action been taken to address this? Please comment.

  • If Japanese Knotweed is present in the work area are all control measures in place to manage it?

  • Are there any examples or opportunities for ecology or biodiversity best practice? Please comment.

Noise, Vibration & Dust

  • Are all works being carried out in line with the site Section 61 Agreement or approved Statement of Intent?

  • Are appropriate forms of dust suppression being used where required and are they effective?

  • Is all plant and equipment that generates noise & dust emissions sited away from sensitive areas?

  • Have sufficient noise reduction techniques been adopted to reduce noise emissions from plant and equipment?

  • Are noise / dust emissions within limits? If no, what action is being taken?

Pollution Control

  • Are all taps and valves (where oil could escape) kept locked shut when not in use?

  • Are all taps, valves, and flexible hoses and any pumps, through which oil can be discharged, located within the secondary containment, and of good working order?

  • Are storage containers in appropriate area (e.g. away from traffic, water courses, on impermeable ground etc) and in a lockable and ventilated area?

  • Is the secondary containment free from rainwater and residual fuel?

  • Do storage containers have secondary containment i.e. bunds (110%), drip trays that are sufficiently sized for the container?

  • Have storage containers for fluids been inspected to ensure that there are no leaks etc?

  • Is there suitable storage containers for fluids (liquids & gases), which are fit for purpose and labelled?

  • Is there sufficient and appropriately sized equipment (i.e. spill kits) in place on site to deal with a pollution incident (s)?

  • Is a spill response procedure in place and communicated on site, with an appropriate team nominated?

  • Has the spill response procedure been tested in accordance with an agreed schedule?

  • Has plant / equipment been checked to ensure that they are not emitting black smoke?

  • Has plant been checked to ensure it complies with HS2 NRMM (Non Road Mobile Machinery) requirements?

  • Is NRMM plant tagged? (eg CESAR

  • Is temporary plant / mobile equipment being turned off when not in use?

Transport

  • Are deliveries being received only within the hours of the site operations?

  • Are delivery vehicles turning off engines when off-loading or waiting to enter site?

  • Are nearby road ways being kept clear and clean to reduce the build-up of mud and dirt?

Waste

  • Are bins regularly emptied with none visibly overfilled or at risk of materials escaping?

  • Are Waste Transfer Notes and Consignment Notes (Hazardous Waste) being filled out correctly?

  • Are waste streams being correctly segregated?

  • Do all contractors who are managing waste on & offsite (inc. the of transportation waste) have valid licenses / permits in place?

  • Is there a dedicated COSHH / Hazardous waste bin(s) - is this clearly labelled, stored & sited away from sensitive receptors (surface drains, water courses etc)?

  • If contaminated land is identified, is it being handled with the appropriate controls in place?

  • Are there recycling facilities available in the site offices and welfare accommodation?

  • Have opportunities to reduce waste or improve recycling been identified?

Water

  • Are valid water consents or licences (for discharges or abstraction) in place and conditions being complied with?

  • Are cement & concrete pumping / delivery and wash out areas adequately protected, at least 10m away from drains, to prevent cement or contaminated water escaping?

  • Has plant equipment / wheel wash systems been sited 10m away from surface water drains?

  • Have nearby surface water drains been adequately covered to prevent silts / pollutants entering them and colour coded or labelled?

  • Have settlement / re-circulation systems been checked to ensure they are operating correctly?

  • Have all water leaks (if applicable) been immediately addressed and fixed? Please comment.

  • Have opportunities to reduce water consumption been identified?

Materials

  • Have all materials on site been responsibly sourced (e.g. FSC timber, BES6001 concrete, steel, brick and plasterboard and Cares Sustainability/Eco Reinforcement for rebar)?

  • Are materials stored in a way that prevents damage?

  • Are materials being used efficiently (e.g. use of off-cuts, re-using materials to reduce waste)?

  • Have any opportunities for reducing single use plastics been identified?
