Site Operating Procedures removes ’15 minute rule’

The Site Operating Procedures have been updated to incorporate a number of technical changes as a result of the recently published Government guidance on Working Safely during Coronavirus (COVID‐19) ‐ Construction & Other Outdoor Work.

Changes to the Site Operating Procedures ‐ Version 4 are minimal and include:

• Removal of the requirement for face‐to‐face contact to be kept to 15 minutes or less
• The section on PPE now links to the latest Government guidance on face coverings
• References to one‐way systems and the reconfiguration of seating and tables and an update on portable toilets
• The requirement to share risk assessments with the workforce
• Clarification on when to travel to work, as set out in the Government’s COVID‐19 Recovery Strategy
• Updated links and wording on social distancing.
