SARA RFI - Ecological Assessment Report

INTRODUCTION                                                                                               1-12
        Details of all contractors proposed to be working at the site during the construction program are to be
        provided to the Council prior to the Pre-start meeting for approval by the Manager – Land
        Development (this is in accordance with Council Operational Works approvals).

1.5     Training Requirement

        The Developer is responsible for ensuring that the Principal Contractor meets the contractual
        specifications for adequate training to be provided to all members of the construction team involved
        in the Settlers Cove Project. This responsibility for training can be devolved to the SEO who should
        liaise with the Project Manager and other relevant agencies to ensure current interpretations of the
        EMP are appropriate.

        As a minimum, all contractors and sub contractors and their staff will be required to undergo a Site
        Induction, incorporating environmental awareness training, prior to being allowed to work on the site.
        The induction will detail the site’s environmental values and highlight the relevant requirements of
        this EMP and Management Plans. The Induction Training program is to be approved by Council prior
        to implementation.

        A key component of the Site Induction and Environmental Awareness training will be application of
        the Site Management Rules that will apply to all contractors, sub-contractors and others working on
        the site.

        Appendix B presents the Site Management Rules that will be presented to each attendee. Each
        attendee will be required to sign the form (also see Appendix B) acknowledging that they have read,
        understood and will comply with the Site Management Rules. These signed forms will be retained by
        the Principal Contractor and will be available for inspection by Council at any time. Personnel
        trained are to retain a copy for their records. Anyone in breach of the Rules will be directed by the
        Principal Contractor to rectify the breach. A significant breach may necessitate exclusion of the
        offender from the site.
