CLC Site Operating Procedures updated

Site Operating Procedures published by the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) have been revised.

The Site Operating Procedures have been updated by the CLC to reflect the latest government guidance following the easing of lockdown measures in England from Saturday 4 July.

The 'one metre plus' social distancing guidelines require workers to stay two metres apart, or one metre with risk mitigation where two metres is not viable, and it is expected that sites will maintain the social distancing measures in place.

Other changes to the Site Operating Procedures – Version 5 are minimal and include:

• Updates to the 'When to Travel to Work' section
• The latest peak times for public transport
• Entry systems to be regularly cleaned rather than between each use
• Drivers to have access to welfare facilities
• Canteens that have been closed or offered a restricted service may now re-open.

The wording used in the SOP in relation to 'one metre plus' is from the Construction and other outdoor work guidance.

The revised SOP v5 takes effect immediately.
