Environmental Compliance Basics

Every site affects the environment: diesel is stored, water is pumped, dust rises and waste leaves the gate. South African law expects you to know which of these activities need a permit, to prevent harm before it happens and to prove it with records. This course gives you a practical map of the main environmental laws and the tools to apply them on site.
