All works described in this document are to be managed and performed to meet the health and safety vision of Zero Incidents, Zero Harm, Zero Compromise for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project (the project). The Code of Construction Practice (CoCP) comprises two parts: a. Part A: General requirements. These measures are applicable project wide. b. Part B: Site-specific requirements. These are site-specific measures where deviations from the general requirements are indicated in Part A.

This document forms the CoCP Part B for the project works at the Earl Pumping Station site and sets out detailed site-specific measures including working hours, site set-up and servicing arrangements, taking into account environmental matters and consultations with the London Borough of Lewisham and other stakeholders. For ease of reference, this document sets out site-specific issues and deviations from Part A; therefore where no site-specific measures are specified, reference should be made to Part A. A plan showing the location of the site is shown in Figure 1.1 overleaf.
