Working on site during the COVID-19 pandemic: what the Scottish construction guidance covered

The guidance Working on site during the COVID-19 pandemic was written to make sure appropriate social distancing measures were adopted on construction sites of every size in Scotland. It covered how to plan work, organise access, welfare facilities and site operations so that workers could keep apart.

On 11 January 2021, with infections rising again, an advance addendum added further measures construction businesses should take to keep their operating environments safe.

The guidance worked alongside the re-start plan, which set out how sites would return to work in phases, and a standard operating procedure (SOP) document. See the guidance archive for the full set.
