Firstly, we would like to reiterate that safeguarding the health and wellbeing of our employees, customers, supply chain and industry colleagues is our top priority.Whilst we are very much aware and understand the concerns regarding Covid-19, we want to reassure you that we are continuing to monitor the situation and will look to fully follow any subsequent Government advice.
Regarding our current situation:
We are very much open for business and welcome all enquiries for future work. Although we still have approximately 20% of our work force on furloughed leave, we will endeavor to continue to work effectively to ensure all work is completed both safely and to our own highest of standards. We want to assure all relevant parties that although completing our work is important, we will not compromise safe operating procedures. We have reinforced with all of our staff and employees the current Government advice relating to the importance of hand hygiene, washing thoroughly and regularly using hand sanitisers where neccesary. Similarly, we have emphasised the critical need for social distancing in all aspects of life – personal and work. Regarding our site activities, we are liaising with site management teams to ensure that the number of our employees working on site fits with the operational need whilst considering our over-riding commitment to safely follow the recommended social distancing controls. We have considered how our physical tasks can be undertaken whilst observing the 2m distance requirement and will only undertake activities where this can be achieved. It is not anticipated that circumstances will arise where it becomes impossible to maintain the 2m distance rule. In terms of management, we remain operational and fully available via both electronic and telephonic means. Site visits are being avoided wherever possible. If the need to visit site does arise, then such visits will be undertaken fully in line with the same control procedures that are in place for our site team. We expect circumstances to continue to change and our measures will be reviewed alongside the latest Government guidelines; we will advise accordingly should this have any impact on our current operations.
