The Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA) is teaming up with the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) to improve working practices across the building services supply chain.

By linking up with the industry body, the ECA said the partnership represents "the next step" in its efforts to maintain a "positive image" for building activity.

Founded in 1997, the CCS promotes a 'Code of Considerate Practice' which aims to ensure industry firms engage with local communities, control environmental impacts, ensure safety in and around building sites, as well as valuing their workforce.

ECA Director of Business, Paul Reeve, said: "The ECA is delighted to link up with the Considerate Constructors Scheme, and we look forward to promoting its 'Code of Considerate Practice' across the building services engineering sector."

Edward Hardy, Chief Executive of the CSS, added: "M&E contractors comprise a significant part of the construction industry and have a very important role to play in contributing to an improved image of the industry.

"We are therefore delighted that the ECA is a Scheme Supporter, to help champion the principles of the Considerate Constructors Scheme to its members."
