Enviromental
It is Amber Construction Services Ltd policy to ensure that every effort is made to ensure that the highest standards of environmental protection are achieved so far as is reasonably practicable. The Directors recognise that in order to achieve this, environmental considerations must be ranked equally with all other business objectives.
The Company shall so far as is reasonably practicable:
- Promote the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources
- Minimise environmental pollution in all of its own activities and, where possible, by its influence over others
- Minimise the environmental impact of all of its operations
- Give consideration to substitution of polluting substances with greener alternatives wherever possible
- Identify any potential smoke, dust, noise and vibration nuisance at the risk assessment stage and take necessary steps to minimise them
- Ensure waste disposal is carried out by registered carriers and removed to registered disposal sites. Documentation will be kept to demonstrate compliance with statutory requirements
- Endeavour to use biodegradable materials whenever practicable
- Recycle, reclaim or reuse waste whenever possible
- Not permit liquid pollutants to enter watercourses. This will include the specific instruction to control identified pollution risks. All liquid storage will be bunded whenever there is a risk
- Ensure environmental assessments are carried out for all identified hazards
- Endeavour to comply with ISO14000
- Review all its policies, services and activities and act accordingly to ensure theses commitments are fulfilled
