A quick 5 to 10-minute orientation by the construction manager or other knowledgeable person on- site is usually sufficient. It s best if the orientation occurs whenever a new trade arrives on the job- site, with follow-up orientations during other regular meetings or tool talks to reinforce policies. Any noncompliance should be documented and brought up at weekly project meetings. For a building to be truly sustainable, everyone on the team needs to work together. Whether you are a general contractor, subcontractor, supervisor, or tradesperson, each of us has a responsibility to follow the specifications of the job and cooperate with the other trades. The quick orientation should cover: This is a green building. Rating systems (if appropriate) What makes this project green: Better air quality. Very good expected energy performance. Nontoxic products. Air quality testing. Bathroom and Smoking Policy: Urinating on walls and smoking in enclosed areas or near permeable materials will create lasting affects and will be costly if the IAQ tests fail. These will not be tolerated. The policy for locating bathrooms and designated smoking areas; explain that the policy will be policed. Quick orientation to make sure every worker on the job understands: Safety should never be compromised. This is a green and sustainable building project \u2013 special conditions will apply. What makes this project green. Policy for locating bathrooms and designated smoking areas.
