| Short description: |
The purpose of the Code of Practice is to provide a practical guide to assist anyone involved in the construction industry to protect the soil resources
with which they work. As well as providing environmental benefits, by following the guidance, firms could also save money.
The draft Code outlines current guidance and legislation concerning the use of soil in construction projects, before offering stage by stage guidance on
the use, management and movement of soil on site.
