Many workers will have round trips of over 15 miles into\u00a0central London.<\/p>\n<p>Expecting workers to cycle long distances during the winter, in the dark and in bad weather is a recipe for serious accidents. Especially as the worker will be expected to cycle home in the dark, often after undertaking a physically demanding 10 plus hour shift, when fatigue will be a major factor.<\/p>\n<p>A further concern that does not appear to have been considered is that London\u2019s roads, even for an experienced cyclist, can be dangerous and to ask someone who very likely has little or no experience of navigating London\u2019s roads in the dark is asking for trouble.<\/p>\n<h3>Staggering shifts<\/h3>\n<p>The advice also fails to appreciate that staggering shifts can\u2019t be based on where construction workers live but has to be based on teams of workers to ensure efficient working on site.<\/p>\n<p>Unite is also worried that other advice issued to construction workers in London advises them to leave crowded stations or services if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/social-distancing-technology-2\/81537\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social distancing<\/a> can\u2019t be maintained, but unless there is provision at their site to allow a worker to be late, without penalty, such advice is meaningless.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Construction workers are not pariahs\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Unite national officer for construction Jerry Swain, said:\u00a0\u201cThe advice issued by TfL is welcome as it recognises that only major contractors can introduce measures to allow for the staggering of shifts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough Unite is disappointed to note that there appears to be no plans to relax the Congestion Charge or parking restrictions for construction workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt needs to be remembered that construction workers are not pariahs and should not be treated as such. They are going to work as the government has decided that this is appropriate and necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnite remains highly concerned that there is an attempt to force workers onto bikes and expect them to cycle long distances in the dark and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/winter-supply-chain\/83896\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">winter weather<\/a>, undertake a long shift and return home again. This is a recipe for tragedy and should not be encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is essential that construction workers are able to socially distance from when they leave home, until when they return home again at night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorkers\u00a0will not\u00a0avoid congested trains unless they know that if they are late they will not be penalised or victimised, which currently occurs all too frequently on sites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/health-safety-news\/construction-covid-testing\/87158\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">safety of construction workers<\/a> is Unite\u2019s key priority and the union is committed to working with contractors, construction clients, TfL and the Mayor of London to ensure the safety of construction workers while traveling to and from work.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forcing construction workers in London onto bikes is dangerous, warns construction union Unite, after TfL issued travel advice to avoid congestion on public transport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[676,54592,947,753,280,17722],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-88372","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-coronavirus","9":"tag-london","10":"tag-safety","11":"tag-transport","12":"tag-unite-the-union"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u2018Forcing construction workers onto bikes is dangerous,\u2019 warns Unite<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Forcing construction workers in London onto bikes is dangerous, warns Unite, after TfL issued travel advice to avoid congestion on transport\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/construction-workers-cycle\/88372\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u2018Forcing construction workers onto bikes is dangerous,\u2019 warns Unite\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Forcing construction workers in London onto bikes is dangerous, warns construction union Unite, after TfL issued travel advice to avoid congestion on public transport\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/construction-workers-cycle\/88372\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
