Coronavirus (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on businesses across the construction industry and this dedicated Build UK webpage collates the latest information and support for employers.
We continue to work with the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) to maintain the Site Operating Procedures and have published a flowchart showing the steps to take if a worker has COVID-19 or has to self-isolate.
As the Government proceeds with its roadmap for easing restrictions, businesses should follow the most up-to-date Government guidance on Working Safely during Coronavirus, which includes construction and other outdoor work and other people’s homes.
