About this course
This online, CPD Accredited & IOSH Approved training course is designed to introduce staff and management at all levels to the issue of environmental responsibility, as well as looking at what can be done to reduce negative environmental impact from our day to day activities.
We all know that our environment is under threat and that changes must be made to protect it.

This programme looks at the problems our environment is facing. It looks at our responsibilities and wider environmental awareness, as well as covering the various legislation that relates to environmental responsibility for organisations of all types and sizes.

Enlightening and very informative
I thought I was quiet aware of how to be environmentally friendly at home and at work but the course made me realise the effect just small changes can always make and encouraged me to think more carefully about my day to day environmental impact
It was interesting but delivered in a patronising manner
Quite interesting, however it has been delivered in a patronising manner. Also the company I work for should be more responsible with the packaging and the items they have on sale. They , this huge company should responsibly source their products. This would encourage the general public to make better choices
Super useful and motivating

Whilst I have a reasonable knowledge of Environmental issues, this course reminded me of the need to constantly reflect on the impact I can have.
The course was interesting and informative. It highlighted the need for employees to be aware of the legislative requirements of their employers as well as their own personal impact on the 'Butterfly Effect'. The reason I rated the course a 4 rather than a 5 is in relation to the comments around farming and livestock as I live in a rural area and I do see an increase in farmers awareness of environmental issues and a move towards more environmentally friendly practices.
very informative for Home and Work environments

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Environmental Protection Act 1990 (as amended in 2008) and the Environment Act 1995 say that anyone who produces, handles or disposes of waste must make sure it’s done properly and safely. Businesses and households that don’t comply can be given fines or even prison sentences. The Control of Pollution Act 1974 and its 1989 Amendment regulate waste transportation and disposal, water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution, with fines for non-compliance. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme covers 31 countries. It limits the total amount of certain greenhouse gases that factories, power plants and airlines are allowed to emit, and lets companies buy, sell or trade their emission allowances.
It shall be a defence for a person charged under this act to prove: a) that he took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to to avoid the commission of the offence; or b) that he acted under instructions from his employer and neither knew nor had reason to suppose that the acts done by him constituted a contravention of [the Environmental Protection Act].
