  1. Considerate Constructors Scheme Site Operatives’ Induction

  2. Mission statement ‘The aim of the Scheme is to improve the image of construction’

  3. Why? Construction has a huge impact on the lives of everyone. Every site should become a positive advertisement for itself and for the industry as a whole.

  4. What? The Code of Considerate Practice requires sites to: • Care about Appearance • Respect the Community • Protect the Environment • Secure everyone’s Safety • Value their Workforce

  5. How does it work? The Scheme aims to improve the image of construction through the following areas: General public Registered sites should do all they can to reduce the impact of construction activity on anyone affected by their work, and should aim to leave a positive impression on their neighbours. Workforce Companies managing registered sites should do all they can to be a considerate employer. They should provide clean and appropriate facilities for all those who work for them, and treat every employee with respect. Environment Registered sites should do all they can to reduce any negative impact they may have on the environment, and should work in an environmentally-conscious and sustainable manner.

  6. The Scheme operates a voluntary Code of Considerate Practice, driven by the industry, which seeks to: • Minimise any disturbance or negative impact; for example, noise, dirt and inconvenience sometimes caused by construction sites to the immediate neighbourhood. • Eradicate offensive behaviour and language from construction sites. • Recognise and reward the contractor's commitment to raise standards of site management, safety and environmental awareness beyond statutory requirements.

  7. Where? The Scheme covers all construction activity within the UK and Ireland.

  8. The Scheme’s primary concerns • Site presentation and appearance • How a site affects its neighbours and the general public • Its effect on the environment and how this is kept to a minimum • Site welfare
