Site environmental management course

Absorb Environmental Solutions has created a Certificate IV in Site Environmental Management.

The five-day full-time course provides site environmental officers with a thorough grounding in both the theory and practice of environmental management.

Special emphasis is given to current environmental legislation and standards, and practical day-to-day measures that help ensure environmental compliance.

Participants also learn how to improve their management and planning, and in fact a key piece of assessment is their own environmental management plan.

The course's creator, Phil Abernethy, says the course fills a critical gap in training because it provides the definitive qualifications for site environmental officers and helps them to gain and retain compliance in environmental issues.

Course topics include environmental legislation and standards; ecology; air, noise and water pollution; water management; interaction with community and neighbours; site environmental management plans; environmental assessment and auditing; environmental emergency planning; and routine site environmental operations.
