The Construction Leadership Council’s guidelines for operating construction sites during the pandemic are no longer current as of today (1 April).

The CLC said that while the pandemic is not over yet, the removal of the government’s Working safely during coronavirus (Covid-19) guidance, along with health and safety requirements for employers to explicit consider covid-19 in their risk assessments, means that its Site Operating Procedures no longer apply.

The Site Operating Procedures will remain available as a reference document here.

Meanwhile, the Use of Face Coverings in Construction guidance will also remain as a reference document here.
