SEW Environmental Site Inspection Report Rev 2
This SEW Environmental Site Inspection Report Rev 2 helps teams assess environmental compliance on active construction works. It guides site inspectors through checks on environmental documents, inductions, and communication, confirms the construction environmental management plan is available, and reviews housekeeping and storage. The template covers ecology controls, licences and consents, vegetation clearance and reinstatement, and arboriculture practices near sensitive trees. It includes detailed water environment controls such as silt and pollution prevention measures, flood risk and discharge permits, spill kit availability, bunds and drip trays, refuelling procedures, and visible signs of contamination. It also prompts reviews of archaeology and heritage requirements, noise and air emission controls, working hours, dust suppression, and full waste management including records and segregation. Use it to identify non compliance issues and actions and keep sites aligned with best practice and client requirements.

Operational checks include site establishment, waste segregation and carrier documentation, storage and handling of fuel and hazardous substances, plant condition and spill kit availability, and measures to protect drains and watercourses. It also evaluates dust suppression, noise and vibration controls, neighbour liaison, lighting, energy and water efficiency, shutdown practices, materials storage and reuse, and protection of flora and fauna. Use it to identify gaps, document consent requirements, and drive continual improvement in environmental performance.
