The Construction Industry Federation has issued Covid-19 safety guidelines to its members in anticipation of a gradual return to work on May 5.
The CIF says its members need to be ready to impose a strict health and safety regime if they are to start work again. Among the guidelines in the Standard Operating Procedures document is staggered shift times with some workers on site from 7am to 2pm and others from 2pm to 8pm.
There is also an online induction programme for workers with guidance on hygiene, social distancing and travel to work which would limit the number of employees travelling together to three no matter how big the van.
