Environmental Awareness Training in brief: Online environmental awareness training covering controlled-waste duties, pollution prevention, resource use, spill response and relevant UK requirements. It takes approx. 40 minutes across 4 sections. A 20 question test follows, so learners have their certificate as soon as they pass.
Why this training matters
Businesses that produce or handle controlled waste have a duty of care for that waste. Wider environmental duties depend on activities, permits and the relevant UK nation.
Environmental Awareness explains how businesses affect the environment and what the Environmental Protection Act 1990 expects of them. It then turns to practical ways to reduce your carbon footprint and sets out everyone's responsibilities. It is for all employees, because small changes across a whole team add up.
