Abstract: The overall objective of Antigua and Barbuda Skills Training and Empowerment Program Project (ABSTEP) is to improve the employability and expand the possibilities of employment among the most vulnerable, and to contribute to improving the physical environment of Antigua’s low-income communities. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: maintain the speed of the vehicles involved in the works below 20 mph; keep noise levels of teams below 90 db; In residential areas or those near to hospitals, measures to mitigate the noise level may be more stringent, such as restricting the hours and number of hours allowed for the use of equipment that generate noise; review daily hygiene conditions in which workers operate, and ensure water and sanitary facilities area available; In the case of healthcare services projects, cleaning of the facility where services are provided must be checked daily; trash and debris should be stored in designated areas and collected by licensed haulers; standing water shall not be permitted to accumulate at work sites; sediment and silt will be stopped from leaving the site to drains or canals by barriers, berms, catchments, or other measures.
