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.
The Government’s Autumn and Winter Plan reinforces that COVID-19 will be a feature of our lives for the foreseeable future and businesses should continue to exercise caution and follow the most up-to-date Government guidance, which includes Working Safely (construction and other outdoor work).
The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) Site Operating Procedures remain available as a reference document and should continue to be followed where businesses wish to maintain social distancing on site.
