The Erosion and Sediment Control Level 2 course will provide participants with the knowledge and skills to assess, identify and comply with requirements related to managing Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) on their worksites.
This course is delivered in partnership with Terry Clark of the Topo Group.
This course is identified as intermediate training and design for those who have completed the Level 1 course. The content of this course is based on the “Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control” (IECA, 2008) and will provide practical instruction on current best practice requirements, compliance requirements along with an appreciation of how to manage the risk to both the environment and the project.
