With construction work set to continue during the latest lockdown, the\u00a0Construction Industry Coronavirus (CICV) Forum<\/a> is urging construction workers to wear masks properly to prevent the spread<\/h2>\n

This campaign has reinforced its ongoing reminders to workers about travelling and working in domestic projects safely and staying Covid aware<\/a> in their social lives, as well as a reminder to the public to allow construction operatives to carry out their work unhindered.<\/p>\n

The latest initiative \u2013 Mask for Task: Cover for Covid \u2013 follows the news at the start of the New Year that the construction industry in Scotland is to continue in 0operation despite restrictions in other areas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It emphasises in its easy-to-follow infographic that workers should wear the appropriate respirator or mask that the task demands and that a face covering of suitable material should be worn when moving around site.<\/p>\n

It also gives specific instructions on how to \u2013 and how not to \u2013 wear face coverings as well as instructions for taking care of personal protective equipment, such as storing masks in a sealable bag when not in use.<\/p>\n

As the industry picks up tools again after the festive break, the Forum is also reiterating\u00a0the\u00a0collective\u2019s latest guidance\u00a0on practical measures<\/a> that contractors and workers can follow to protect themselves, their colleagues, and customers, friends and family.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Simple instructions<\/h3>\n

Rebecca Crosland, health and safety adviser at the\u00a0<\/strong>Building Engineering Services Association<\/a> and chair of the Forum\u2019s Health and Safety sub-group, said: \u201cWith essential construction work being allowed to continue during lockdown, it is incumbent on everyone working in the sector to ensure that they are operating safely, whatever their capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most direct ways of doing this is to ensure correct mask use, which our latest infographic and animation promotes.<\/p>\n

“The information is easy to follow and will help operatives protect themselves and their colleagues, customers, friends and family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also repeating our other range of health and safety messaging about travel, social distancing<\/a> and domestic work to ensure everyone is clear on exactly what behaviours are required at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n
