So after squeezing onto the tube because that wonderful mayor of London has cut all the services because everyone now can work from home with modern technology, not sure how to thread a bundle of conduit via an email.
So now we have got to site, we getting changed into our PPE in a tiny locker room then off to the canteen which only has a couple of kettles & microwave which has been handled by everyone else on site.
Then you have to fined a seat to drink your tea that is 2m away from someone else.
Or you can go round someones house while they are in the other room, do your job & go.
It might save lives by social distancing but what about all the trade people dropping dead because they have starved to death because they are not earning any money.

Someone else’s house, that they’ve been coughing in all night, and maybe not as clean as you’re like to see.
Safest to just stay at home, as advised.
If I was working on a big site, I wouldn’t be going in if the tube was the only option.
Assume everybody has the virus and is contagious....or pretend you are.
What would you do? Stay at home and away from everyone else
Over the last 15 years the Primary Contractors on all sites have continuously hammered home the point of RAMS, to be strictly adhered to. How the large sites with many hundreds of operatives can expect to adhere to the 2m rule and operate safely is beyond me, and yet as far as I know only Taylor Woodrow have made the decision to close their sites. If there is one thing that should have sunk in now is that without the social separation this disaster which is facing all of us will only get worse.

I agree mate the point of my post is that the Primary Contractors are keeping these sites open although they know the risks. I'm not working I was in the garden this afternoon sitting in the sun. Stay safe..

At the end of the day it comes down to money, if the job don't get done they can't rent out the office or sell the flat.
Remember we are just grotty builders & not important & have to squeeze onto the tube in this crisis because that idiot of a mayor has cut the services to one every 20 minutes.
If we don't go to work we die of starvation, if we go to work we catch Covid 19.
Get a trade they said, you will never be out of work.

They are not going to be able to sell or rent anything for the next 3 or 4 months, however the point that the goverment are trying to get over is that the 2m spacing rule is there to stop the spread of it to the more vunerable members of society.
