Gearing up for the Arboricultural Association's Approved Contractor SchemePart 12 - Environmental management

摘要

In this series of articles I am working through the requirements of the Arboricultural Association's Approved Contractor Scheme, or ArbAC as it is now commonly known, the idea being that if you work on the bite-sized chunks month on month, by the endof the series of articles, you should be in a position to go for accreditation.I am a lead assessor for the Approved Contractor Scheme but I don't work for the Association as an employee; my main job is as a consultant helping companies to get ready for the assessment. I consider the Approved Contractor accreditation to be an absolutely fundamental requirement for any contracting company wishing to increase sales. I have heard many a business owner say something like 'I wish somebody could give me a list of all of the things I need to do to make sure this place ticks all of the boxes'. ArbAC is the list you are looking for.
