Barratt Developments<\/a> has revealed 50% of its construction sites will begin a phased reopening from Monday 11 May, while its sites in Scotland will remain closed<\/h2>\n

Barratt Developments has established a detailed set of working practices and protocols so that its construction sites can operate safely and in line with the latest guidance<\/a> from Government, Public Health Authorities and the Construction Leadership Council.<\/p>\n

New working practices include changes to signage, site welfare facilities and compounds, site access and walkways. Barratt has already successfully implemented these measures on one of its sites as a pilot.<\/p>\n

A nominated \u2018social distancing marshal\u2019 will be present on all sites to ensure policy compliance and the company will provide induction, training and support for its employees and subcontractors.<\/p>\n

Work on our construction sites will recommence from 11 May, initially to implement the changes required under the new working practices and protocols. Barratt will then start a phased return to construction, with 180 sites \u2013 around 50% of the total \u2013 in the first phase.<\/p>\n

The company said it does not plan to restart work on sites in\u00a0Scotland<\/a> at this time and will keep this position under review.<\/p>\n

On 16 April 2020, Barratt furloughed around 85%<\/a> of its employees, at their normal pay, until at least the end of May. With the phased reopening of its sites, a significant proportion of the workforce will be able to return to work during May.<\/p>\n

Reopen construction sites safely<\/h3>\n

David Thomas, chief executive of Barratt Developments, said: \u201cOur first priority is the health and safety of our employees, subcontractors and customers. We have created a detailed set of working practices and protocols for employees and subcontractors to ensure that we can reopen our construction sites safely, in a phased and measured way, which minimises risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn line with our commitment to put our customers first, we will be prioritising the completion of those homes that our customers have already exchanged or reserved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would also like to thank our employees who have been fantastic during this challenging time, both those who have worked hard to get us ready to restart and our employees who are not currently working, many of whom have been inspirational as volunteers in their local communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
