    The government needs to consider the fact that stopping construction in Scotland is not just affecting construction companies, but also the professional services organisations like engineers and architects that rely on the construction activity, as well as all the small organisations providing materials or labour on site

    Large sites are like breeding sites for the virus, only small sites should be allowed to reopen.

    Could building sites really guarantee social distancing?

    All construction workers are very familiar with various PPE which they normally have to use at work. They are also very familiar with normal site rules & regulations for Health & Safety.

    The question has to be, “Can this work environment guarantee Social Distancing?”

    If it can, then it could go ahead.
    Otherwise, it can’t.
