jamamafegan Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I sympathise but I know from experience that social distancing on a building site is difficult on many occasions and impossible on some. I’ve said on here many times that collectively we need to minimise the spread of the virus, we cannot eliminate it. If construction was halted until the virus was completely ended then the economic impact would be immeasurable. Key construction hasn’t stopped though - only non essential construction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve already said, I saw workers on a construction site within the last week. They were building houses; that is non-essential.

I’m not smart enough to say what it is, but some German scientist was on the Today programme yesterday explaining why. Presumably the lower the transmission rate, the greater the relative impact of new infected people arriving, especially as it coincides with everyone being allowed out more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Employees claiming they caught Coronavirus at work and the employer didn't adhere to correct social distancing rules or PPE. Getting people back to work prematurely is mental. My work have been quite strict,we are now not allowed in the building till our start time,Diads(handheld)s in our vans rather than got and get them ourselves,got a one way system in place and plenty of PPE to pick up at the end of the night for the next day.Also not taking signatures just leaving boxes and then stepping back. Mind you i have been reported twice for telling folk to step back from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her answer was well short of convincing.Since when was sitting down and having a picnic classed as exercise?She’s saying it’s fine to go out as much as you want for exercise, that means moving about, not congregating in green spaces and having a picnic. It’s pretty obvious, sadly it’s clear that will need to be spelled out to some folk. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe picnics were a poor comparison, but BJ at least makes sense by saying if you can go out as often as you desire to a park to exercise, then you can also loiter in the park providing you maintain social distancing. It makes little sense for NS to say that once you cross the border you can go out as often as you desire to a park to exercise, but loitering is unsafe. It would have been better to keep the advice as was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
