Businesses working in construction-related jobs and projects felt that with this appearance of the COVID-19, a reshaping of the industry was necessary since the start of the year. The changes are apparent if we look at the new H&S on-site rules or the continuous rescheduling and adapting to make projects progress.
If someone had entered a construction site before February 2020, it would be a regular sight to see people gathering around, shaking hands, and working in big teams. But, since February, the view of construction sites has changed. Now the workforce is instructed to comply with specific rules and follow the new-imposed measures to minimise the risk of contamination. Face masks, one-way routes, temperature checking stations, and sanitiser-disposers are now standard construction site features.
The importance of these rules is to be seen in government advice. Continuous improvement and development of the regulations have made the construction industry safer regarding COVID-19 risk of contamination.
At CIVCONS DESIGN, we encourage our personnel to treat this matter with a high standard of professionalism and take the Government’s advice seriously. You can find any information or requirement for details about how the COVID-19 issue is approached in our projects here.
