Construction Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Construction sites bring together multiple trades, temporary works and heavy plant. Without clear procedures, it is easy for safe methods to be lost in the rush to pour, fix, lift and finish.
BlueSafe’s Construction SOPs give your team practical guidance for the day-to-day tasks that keep a project moving.
Typical Construction SOP Topics
Construction SOPs may cover:
- access and working at heights on scaffolds, roofs and platforms
- operation of cranes, telehandlers and other lifting plant
- materials handling, delivery and storage on tight sites
- trade activities such as framing, fixing, cladding and finishing
Each SOP is built to sit alongside your SWMS, project WHS plan and site rules.
What’s Inside a Construction SOP
Each SOP typically includes:
- task scope and purpose
- PPE and access requirements
- equipment and plant checks
- step-by-step task instructions
- exclusion zones and traffic management reminders
- housekeeping and handover steps
You can adjust the wording and sequence to reflect how your crews usually work.
