The Scheme operates a voluntary Site 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 duties. January

Registered sites have to comply with the Scheme’s Site Code of Considerate Practice. The Code consists of the following 8 sections: Considerate Minimise any negative effect your work may be having on site neighbours. Give special consideration to children and those with sight, hearing or mobility difficulties. Environment Keep noise to a minimum at all times. Minimise wastage and use any recycling facilities provided. Turn off powered items when not in use. Cleanliness Help to keep your site clean and tidy at all times. Keep dirt and dust to a minimum. Don’t litter. Good Neighbour Remember you have an effect on your site’s neighbours and the general public. Don’t park where you may inconvenience the neighbours. January

Respectful Take care of your appearance and conduct on and off site. Deal with others as you would expect to be dealt with yourself. Safe No work you do should be a safety risk to you or others. Responsible Your contribution is vital to the success and quality of this project. Always make sure you are wearing the correct PPE for the job you are doing. Accountable Report any incident relating to safety, the public or the environment. Always remember What you do reflects upon you, your company and our industry. The reputation and image of our industry depends on you. January
