Considerate Contractors – Code of Practice
Consideration
All work is carried out with positive consideration to the needs of traders and businesses, site personnel and visitors, pedestrians, shoppers and general public. Special attention will be given to the needs of those with sight, hearing and mobility difficulties.
Environment
Noise from construction operations and all other sources will be kept to a minimum at all times. Consideration will be given to the selection and use of resources, using local wherever possible. Attention will be paid to waste management and the avoidance of pollution - recycling of surplus materials is encouraged.
Cleanliness
The working site will be kept clean and in good order at all times. Temporary safety barriers, lights and warning signs will be maintained in a clean and safe condition. Surplus materials and rubbish will not be allowed to accumulate on the site or spill over on to the surrounding environment. Dust from construction operations will be kept to a minimum.
Neighbourliness
General information regarding the scheme will be provided for all neighbours affected by the work. Full and regular communications with neighbours, including adjacent traders and businesses, regarding programming and site activities will be maintained from pre-start to completion.
Respect
Respectable and safe standards of dress will be maintained at all times. Lewd or derogatory behaviour and language will not be tolerated, under threat of severe disciplinary action. Pride in the management and appearance of the site and the surrounding environment will be shown at all times. Operatives shall be instructed in dealing with the general public.
Safety
Construction operations and site vehicle movements will be carried out with care and consideration for the safety of the general public, traders, shoppers as well as site personnel. No building activity shall be a security risk to others.
Responsibility
Considerate constructors will ensure that all site personnel, specialist sub-contractors, drivers and any other persons working on the site understand and implement the obligations of this Code, and will monitor their compliance with it.
Accountability
Considerate Constructors Code of Practice signs are to be displayed around the site, giving names and telephone numbers of staff who can be contacted in response to issues raised by the general public, traders, shoppers and others affected by the site operations.
