Barratt Developments is to restart construction on 50% of its sites as part of plans for a phased reopening from 11 May.
The company closed all of its sites and offices by 27 March and said it has since been developing working practices and protocols so that its sites can operate within government and Construction Leadership Council guidelines.
Barratt has plans to change signage, site welfare facilities, site access and walkways and has already implemented the alterations on one of its sites as a pilot. A nominated ‘social distancing marshal’ will also be present on all sites to ensure workers are compliant with the new measures, and Barratt said it would provide induction, training and support for its employees and subcontractors.
