Key Workers on Construction Sites are still active during the COVID-19 Lockdown, on Lewisham High Street, South East London
Construction sites have not been asked to close, so work can continue if it is done safely. Employers should ensure their workers on-site are able to follow the public health guidance, and they should consider responsible arrangements for ensuring their workers can travel in line with this advice, such as through staggering site hours to reduce public transport use during peak periods.
