Code of Construction Practice Part B 1

1 Introduction

1.1.1 All works described in this document are to be managed and performed tomeet the health and safety vision of Zero Incidents, Zero Harm, Zero

Compromise for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project (the project).

1.1.2 The Code of Construction Practice(CoCP) comprises two parts:

a. Part A: General requirements. These measures are applicable projectwide.

b. Part B: Site-specific requirements. These are site-specific measureswhere deviations from the general requirements are indicated in PartA.

1.1.3 This document forms the CoCPPart B for the project works at theBlackfriars Bridge Foreshore site and sets out detailed site-specificmeasures including working hours, site set-up and servicing arrangements,

taking into account environmental matters and consultations with the City ofLondon Corporation and other stakeholders.

1.1.4 For ease of reference,this sets out site-specific issues and deviations fromPart A; therefore where no site-specific measures are specified, referenceshould be made to PartA.

1.1.5 A plan showing the location of the site is shown in the Figure 1.1 overleaf.
