Page 9 - Water Pollution Management - Environmetal Legislation - Your Responsibility

Who is ultimately responsible?

Responsibility for preventing pollution rests with those in control of the site.

The overriding guiding principle behind UK Environmental Legislation is that the

Polluter Pays

For construction sites this generally means

The Main Contractor

Everyone on site, including sub-contractors, must carry out their activities in line with plans,
procedures and method statements designed to prevent pollution.

Pollution prevention is a company wide responsibility
