Course detail

Environmental and labour protection mangement

FAST-CW16Acad. year: 2014/2015

Environmental management and occupational safety management systems are mostly implemented into the integrated management systems of the building companies. The system tools are then planning, management of documents and records, internal audits, preventive and corrective measures and review of the system functional ability at all management stages. Especially in case of transport constructions the environmental impacts, impacts on the landscape protection and its fragmentation are monitored. An integral part of the management systems is also safety and health protection and occupational hygiene requirements on site. Risk prevention and control of construction covers also fire safety measures not only on sites but also in workshops and construction plant grounds.
