TIMCON Covid-19 Protocol – Version 2.0 – 01-05-2020
Introduction
These are exceptional circumstances and the industry must comply with the latest Government advice on Coronavirus (Covid-19) at all times.
These suggested Site Operating Procedures (SOP) guidelines are based on Public Health England (PHE) guidance (other restrictions and advice may apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and TIMCON Executive Board members. Please also refer to the recent TIMCON updates which give link information re important and useful updates and articles. This document will be reviewed on a regular basis and reissued as and when required.
Companies operating during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic need to ensure they are protecting their workforce and minimising the risk of spread of infection. This includes considering how personnel travel to and from work.
This guidance is intended to help members introduce consistent measures at sites of all types (new manufacture, reconditioned, repair and pooling) and sizes in line with the Government's recommendations on social distancing and ensure employers and individuals make every effort to comply.
PHE guidance for states "where it is not possible to follow the social distancing guidelines in full in relation to a particular activity. You should consider whether that activity needs to continue for the site to continue to operate, and, if so, take all the mitigating actions possible to reduce the risk of transmission”
The health and safety requirements of any production process/activity must not be compromised at this time. If a process / activity cannot be undertaken safely, it should not take place.
Emergency services are also under great pressure and may not be able to respond as quickly as usual. This should be taken into consideration in the planning of work activities, first aid, fire and emergency responses.
Companies must have in place effective arrangements for monitoring and reviewing their compliance with Government and industry guidance. They should also remind the workforce at every opportunity of the Site Operating Procedures which are aimed at protecting them, their colleagues, families and the UK population.
Companies must ensure they have carried out appropriate suitable and sufficient risk assessments.
Companies should consider employees signing a document acknowledging the Companies Protocol.
When to Travel To Work
The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has advised recently:
That wherever possible, people should work at home. However, we know that for many people working in construction their job requires them to travel to their place of work, and they can continue to do so. This is consistent with the Chief Medical Officer’s advice”.
It is important to understand the following guidelines by which workers should or should not travel to work as outlined below.
Social distancing Workers should follow the guidance on Staying at home and away from others (social distancing). Where they cannot work from home, they must follow the same principles of social distancing while travelling to and from work and while at work.
Self-isolation Anyone who either has a high temperature or a new persistent cough or is within 14 days of the day when the first member of their household showed symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19) should not come to site, but must follow the guidance on self- isolation.
![Page 4: } À ] r í õ W } } } o & } d Z t } } v W o o W l P ] v P ^ } Covid-19 SOP...P µ ] v ~ } Z ] ] } v v À ] u Ç o Ç ] v ^ } o v U t o v E } Z v / o v v d/D KE Æ µ ] À } u u X](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042409/5f263d6952cce15fc459b18f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
TIMCON Covid-19 Protocol – Version 2.0 – 01-05-2020
Person at increased risk
Anyone who is at increased risk of severe illness from Coronavirus (Covid-19) is strongly advised to work at home and should be particularly stringent about following social distancing measures.
Persons defined on medical grounds as extremely vulnerable
Anyone identified as extremely vulnerable will be advised by their health authority and must follow the guidance on shielding and protecting extremely vulnerable people.
Living with a person in one of the above groups
Anyone living with a person who is at increased risk of severe illness, or an extremely vulnerable person who is shielding from Coronavirus (Covid-19), should stringently follow the guidance on social distancing and minimise contact outside the home.
If someone falls ill If a worker develops a high temperature or a persistent cough while at work, they should:
• Ensure their manager or supervisor is informed
• Return home immediately
• Avoid touching anything
• Cough or sneeze into a tissue and put it in a bin, or if they do not have tissues, cough and sneeze into the crook of their elbow.
They must then follow the guidance on self-isolation and not return to work until their period of self-isolation has been completed.
Travel to Work
Wherever possible workers should travel to site alone using their own transport. If workers have no option but to share transport;
• Journeys should be shared with the same individuals and with the minimum number of people at any one time
• Good ventilation (i.e. keeping the windows open) and facing away from each other may help to reduce the risk of transmission
• The vehicle should be cleaned regularly using gloves and standard cleaning products, with particular emphasis on handles and other areas where passengers may touch surfaces.
Sites should consider;
• Parking arrangements for additional vehicles and bicycles
• Other means of transport to avoid public transport e.g. cycling • Providing hand cleaning facilities at entrances and exits. This should be soap and water wherever
possible or hand sanitiser if soap and water is not available. • How someone taken ill would get home • Where public transport is the only option for workers, you could consider;
• Changing and staggering site hours to reduce congestion on public transport • Avoid using public transport during peak times (05.45-7.30 and 16.00-17.30)
Driving at Work
When travelling at work or between sites locations, workers should travel alone. If workers have no option but to share a vehicle, then they should:
• Where with the same individuals and with the minimum number of people at any one time • Wherever possible maintain a distance of 2 meters and avoid touching their faces • Maintain good ventilation and face away from each other during the journey • Wash their hands for 20 seconds using soap and water or hand sanitiser if soap and water not available • Regularly clean the vehicle using gloves and standard cleaning products.

TIMCON Covid-19 Protocol – Version 2.0 – 01-05-2020
Site Access Egress Points
• Stop all non-essential visitors • Consider introducing staggered start and finish times to reduce congestion and contact at all times • Plan site access and egress points to enable social distancing – you may need to change the number of
access points, either increase to reduce congestion or decrease to enable monitoring, including in the case of emergencies
• Allow plenty of space between people waiting to enter sites • Use signage
o such as floor markings, to ensure 2 meter distance is maintained between people when queuing
o reminding workers not to attend if they have symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19) and to follow guidelines
• Remove or disable entry systems that require skin contact (e.g. fingerprint scanners) unless they are cleaned between each individual use
• Require all workers to wash their hands for 20 seconds using soap and water when entering and leaving the site
• Regularly clean common contact surfaces in reception, office, access control and delivery areas e.g. scanners, turnstiles, screens, telephone handsets and desks, particularly during peak flow times
• Reduce the number of people in attendance at site inductions and consider holding them outdoors wherever possible
• Where loading and offloading arrangements on site will allow it, drivers should remain in their vehicles. Where drivers are required to exit their vehicle, they should wash or sanitise their hands before handling any materials
• Consider arrangements for monitoring compliance.
Handwashing
(Refer to appendix 1)
• Allow regular breaks to wash hands • Provide additional hand washing facilities (e.g. pop ups) to the usual welfare facilities, particularly on
a large spread out site or where there are significant numbers of personnel on site. • Ensure adequate supplies of soap and fresh water are readily available and kept topped up at all
times • Provide hand sanitiser (minimum 60% alcohol based) where hand washing facilities are unavailable • Regularly clean the hand washing facilities • Provide suitable and sufficient rubbish bins for hand towels with regular removal and disposal.
Toilet Facilities
• Restrict the number of people using toilet facilities at any one time and use signage, such as floor markings, to ensure 2 metre distance is maintained between people when queuing
• Wash or sanitise hands before and after using the facilities • Enhance the cleaning regimes for toilet facilities, particularly door handles, locks and the toilet flush • Portable toilets should be avoided wherever possible, but where in use these should be cleaned and
emptied more frequently • Provide suitable and sufficient rubbish bins for hand towels with regular removal and disposal.

TIMCON Covid-19 Protocol – Version 2.0 – 01-05-2020
Canteen & Rest Areas
• Where possible, workers should be encouraged to bring their own food. They should also be required to stay on site once they have entered it and avoid using local shops. Where there are no practical alternatives.
• Consider increasing the number or size of facilities available on site if possible • The capacity of each canteen or rest area should be clearly identified at the entry to each facility, and
where necessary attendants provided to supervise compliance with social distancing measures • Break times should be staggered to reduce congestion and contact at all times • Drinking water should be provided with enhanced cleaning measures of the tap mechanism
introduced • Frequently clean surfaces that are touched regularly, using standard cleaning products e.g. kettles,
refrigerators, microwaves • Hand cleaning facilities or hand sanitiser should be available at the entrance to any room where
people eat and should be used by workers when entering and leaving the area • A distance of 2 metres should be maintained between users, wherever possible • All rubbish should be put straight in the bin and not left for someone else to clear up • Tables should be cleaned between each use • Crockery, eating utensils, cups etc. should not be used unless they are disposable or are washed and
dried between use • Consider arrangements for monitoring compliance.
Changing Facilities, Showers and Drying Rooms
• Consider increasing the number or size of facilities available on site if possible • Based on the size of each facility, determine how many people can use it at any one time to maintain
a distance of two metres • Restrict the number of people using these facilities at any one time e.g. use a welfare attendant • Introduce staggered start and finish times to reduce congestion and contact at all times • Introduce enhanced cleaning of all facilities throughout the day and at the end of each day • Provide suitable and sufficient rubbish bins in these areas with regular removal and disposal.

Site visitors should be limited to only essential services such as FLT, nail gun/compressor providers, statutory compliance providers and potential emergency providers such as fire alarm, plumbers, electricians, etc.
All site visitors should be questioned regarding their health condition in relation to the COVID-19 recognised symptoms and refused entry if any symptoms exist.
Work Planning to Avoid Close Working
In line with Public Health England (PHE) guidelines, where it is not possible to follow the social distancing guidelines in full in relation to a particular activity, Companies should consider whether that activity needs to continue for the Company to continue to operate, and, if so, take all the mitigating actions possible to reduce the risk of transmission. Work and procedures need to be planned and organised to avoid crowding and minimise the risk of spread of infection by following PHE and HSE guidance and the advice within these Site Operating Procedures.
Companies should remind the workforce (e.g. at daily briefings) of the specific control measures necessary to protect them, their colleagues, families and the UK population. Hierarchy of Controls If you are not able to work whilst maintaining a two metre distance, you should consider whether the activity should continue and, if so, risk assess it using the hierarchy of controls below and against any sector-specific guidance.
Eliminate •Workers who are unwell with symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19) should not travel to or attend the workplace • Rearrange tasks to enable them to be done by one person, or by maintaining social distancing measures (2 metres) • Avoid skin to skin and face to face contact • Stairs should be used in preference to lifts or hoists and consider one ways systems
![Page 10: } À ] r í õ W } } } o & } d Z t } } v W o o W l P ] v P ^ } Covid-19 SOP...P µ ] v ~ } Z ] ] } v v À ] u Ç o Ç ] v ^ } o v U t o v E } Z v / o v v d/D KE Æ µ ] À } u u X](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042409/5f263d6952cce15fc459b18f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
TIMCON Covid-19 Protocol – Version 2.0 – 01-05-2020
• Consider alternative or additional mechanical aids to reduce worker interface Site Meetings • Only absolutely necessary meeting participants should attend • Attendees should be at least two metres apart from each other • Rooms should be well ventilated / windows opened to allow fresh air circulation • Consider holding meetings in open areas where possible
Reduce Where the social distancing measures (2 metres) cannot be applied: • Minimise the frequency and time workers are within 2 metres of each other • Minimise the number of workers involved in these tasks • Workers should work side by side, or facing away from each other, rather than face to face • Lower the worker capacity of lifts and hoists to reduce congestion and contact at all times • Regularly clean common touchpoints, doors, buttons, handles, vehicle cabs, tools, equipment etc. • Increase ventilation in enclosed spaces • Workers should wash their hands before and after using any equipment
Isolate Keep groups of workers that have to work within 2 metres: • Together in teams e.g. (do not change workers within teams) • As small as possible • Away from other workers where possible
Control Where face to face working is essential to carry out a task when working within 2 metres: • Keep this to 15 minutes or less where possible • Consider introducing an enhanced authorisation process for these activities • Provide additional supervision to monitor and manage compliance
PPE Sites should not use RPE for Coronavirus (Covid-19) where the two metre social distancing guidelines are met. • Where it is not possible to maintain a two metre distance, each activity should be risk assessed using the hierarchy of controls and against any sector-specific guidance, mindful that masks (RPE) are the last resort in the hierarchy • Re-usable PPE should be thoroughly cleaned after use and not shared between workers • Single use PPE should be disposed of so that it cannot be reused • Where personnel are required to work in specific environments (e.g. where persons are shielding, with symptoms, or confirmed Coronavirus (Covid-19) cases may be present e.g. healthcare or in a home environment) additional PPE should be considered specific to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) risk
Behaviours The measures necessary to minimise the risk of spread of infection rely on everyone in the industry taking responsibility for their actions and behaviours. Please encourage an open and collaborative approach between workers and employers on site where any issues can be openly discussed and addressed.
First Aid and Emergency Service Response
The primary responsibility is to preserve life and first aid should be administered if required and until the emergency services attend.
• When planning site activities, the provision of adequate first aid resources must be agreed between the relevant parties on site
• Emergency plans including contact details should be kept up to date • Consideration must also be given to potential delays in emergency services response, due to the
current pressure on resources • Consider preventing or rescheduling high-risk work or providing additional competent first aid or
trauma resources.

TIMCON Covid-19 Protocol – Version 2.0 – 01-05-2020
Cleaning
(Refer to Appendices 4 & 5)
Enhanced cleaning procedures should be in place across the site, particularly in communal areas and at touch points including:
• Taps and washing facilities • Toilet flush and seats • Door handles and push plates • Hand rails on staircases and corridors • Lift and hoist controls • Machinery and equipment controls • All areas used for eating must be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each break and shift, including
chairs, door handles, vending machines and payment devices. • Telephone equipment, key boards, photocopiers and other office equipment • Rubbish collection and storage points should be increased and emptied regularly throughout and at
the end of each day.
Returning to Work
(Refer to appendix 6)
It is imperative that all employees returning to work must NOT commence work until they have gone through a return to work induction. This is to ensure that they are aware of all the newly introduced processes, procedures and working practises are explained in detail.
Companies should consider that the employees sign a document confirming they have received and understood “the back to work induction”.
Essential Workers Testing
Companies must refer to the guidance notes issued by individual UK governing bodies to ensure any variations are covered.
The criteria for referring any staff members onto the employer referral portal is as follows;
Employee must be self-isolating and requires to be tested negative before returning to work Employees showing symptoms of Coronavirus (ideally within first 3 days of symptoms –
NO testing after 5 days of symptoms) People who live with essential workers and have Coronavirus symptoms
