Event Over

If you are interested in a repeat of this event, contact training@iprow.co.uk

Virtual by Microsoft Teams

Undertaking creation of new routes, installation of path furniture, maintenance of structures and vegetation are all tasks likely to require compliance with regulations, from hedge-cutting to main river consent for a major bridge replacement. Use of contract labour will also require compliance with Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM).

This course looks at the primary regulations you need to consider and how to ensure works are compliant: what to check, who to contact, timescale and supervision.

Some regulations differ between England and Wales. This course focuses on England’s regulations, a course for Wales' regulations will be held in June.

Main topics

Construction, Design & Management (CDM) Regulations
Protected sites, species, trees and habitats

Software

MS Teams is widely used software within local authorities and other organisations. If you do not already use Teams, you may wish to install Teams for free on your own computer, or you can join using a web browser on any computer. Some features are not available on the latter but it will not prevent your full participation as we may also use Vevox, which is an app you may wish to install on a smartphone, or is available through any web browser.
