Site Operating Procedures

The Cabinet Office has confirmed that construction in England can continue as long as it can be done safely and in accordance with the Public Health England guidance. The latest Construction Leadership Council Site Operating Procedures (SOP) align with the latest Public Health England guidance: http://www.constructionleadershipcouncil.co.uk/news/site-operating-procedures-during-covid-19/
As this guidance changes, the SOP will be updated.
If for any reason, sites and companies are not able to comply with the PHE guidance, then they must cease activities until they can.
