The Defra guidance for Site Waste Management Plans is shown on the right.
Responsibilities for the Site Waste Management Plan should be written into the terms of the contract, to avoid any misunderstanding.
Clients often engage the Principal Contractor to produce the Site Waste Management Plan as part of the contract; you need to check this if you are acting as Principal Contractor.
"The client is responsible for ensuring that the plan is prepared before construction work begins. For many projects it will be appropriate for the designer to write the Site Waste Management Plan on behalf of the client, as this will assist in recording any decisions that have been taken at the design stage."
"The plan should then be passed to the Principal Contractor, who must update it as work progresses and ensure that workers on the site are aware of the plan and co-operate with it. This will include providing suitable site induction, information and training. Contractors will in turn need to engage their employees and sub-contractors to ensure that any waste management objectives in the Site Waste Management Plan are understood and achieved."
