520			_aThe construction industry generates a huge amount of waste, and has been slow to embrace environmentally friendly practices. Changing people's wasteful behaviour can make a significant contribution to reducing avoidable waste. Describes a research project that investigated the key influences that shape operatives' attitudes to waste management, and any impediments to them being positive. The project concluded that while attitudes to waste management are not negative, operatives see waste as an inevitable by-product of construction activity. Waste management is perceived as a low priority, and appropriate resources and incentives to support it are lacking. Makes recommendations for managers wanting to develop waste management policies that encourage positive attitudes towards waste among operatives.
