Mace <\/a>has revealed it will steadily reopen construction sites, following the social distancing guidance and Standard Operating Procedures<\/a><\/h2>\n

Guidance from the prime minister<\/a> and his cabinet has been clear that construction is a vital element of the UK economy that will be critical in our recovery from this crisis \u2013 and that where we can open sites in accordance with the Construction Leadership Council\u2019s Standard Operating Procedures<\/a>, we should do so as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

It is now clear that restrictions around social distancing is likely to be in place for many months \u2013 and so construction must find a way to work safely. If we do not, we will be unable to support the UK\u2019s economic recovery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following Mace\u2019s temporary suspension of construction work across its UK projects on Tuesday 24 March, the Mace Group board has announced that they will begin a progressive re-opening of some of their construction projects this morning (Tuesday 7 April).<\/p>\n

If guidance is not followed, sites will be closed<\/h3>\n

Mark Reynolds, Mace CEO, said: “The health, safety and wellbeing of everyone who works on our sites is our first priority.<\/p>\n

“We have made it clear that we would not re-open our construction projects until we were satisfied that it was safe to do so. During this period, there have been ongoing critical works on a number of projects that have allowed us to test and develop our procedures for a wider opening.<\/p>\n

“We are working closely with our clients and supply chain to make this re-opening a success. The Mace Group board, our construction leadership teams and our project teams will be taking personal responsibility for ensuring that guidance is strictly followed. If it is not, we will close sites immediately.”<\/p>\n
