The Site Waste Management Plans Regulations 2008 came into force 6th April 2008.
The regulations make site waste management plans compulsory for all construction projects in England costing over £300,000 (excluding Vat). The plan is a live document and must be updated through the course of the project. The client for the project is responsible for:
- producing the initial plan before construction work begins,
- appointing the principal contractor,
- passing the plan to the principal contractor.
We can work with the client to produce the initial plan. The principal contractor is then responsible for:
- keeping the plan on site,
- making sure other contractors know the plan exists and where it is kept as well as providing information for the plan,
- allowing other contractors and the client access to the plan during the project,
- keeping the plan for two years after completion of the project.
On completion of the project, the plan must be reviewed and held for 2 years.
