Civil Construction Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Civil works involve powerful plant, changing ground conditions and live traffic environments. Without clear procedures, the risks to workers and the public can quickly increase.
BlueSafe’s Civil Construction SOPs help your crews operate plant and carry out civil tasks in a consistent, controlled way.
Typical Civil Construction SOP Topics
These SOPs may cover:
- operating excavators, skid steers and loaders
- trenching, shoring and working in or near excavations
- compacting with rollers and plate compactors
- working around live traffic and traffic control setups
Each SOP is designed to complement your SWMS for high-risk civil activities.
What’s Inside a Civil Construction SOP
Each SOP typically includes:
- purpose and task scope
- operator competency and PPE requirements
- pre-start plant, attachment and site checks
- step-by-step task instructions
