New CLC guidance on face coverings
The Construction Leadership Council has published new guidance entitled ‘The Use of Face Coverings in Construction during Coronavirus (COVID-19)’.
The CLC guidance proposes that employers, as a minimum, make face coverings available when workers are not required to wear RPE for their specific task and their workplace meets all of the following criteria:
- an enclosed space;
- where social distancing isn’t always possible;
- where they come into contact with others they do not normally meet.
