Abstract
Transmission
There is evidence of a broad range of COVID-19 transmission mitigation measures in action; these were generally well received by participants, who reported high levels of compliance.
There is evidence of competing requirements of COVID-19 specific and established construction health and safety regulations. For example, and as may be expected, social distancing proved problematic in situations where proximity working is required. Creative measures were used to mitigate risk where social distancing
wasn’t feasible for example adapting tools and processes or using teams who cohabited. Whilst participants reported reductions in serious safety incidents on sites, the prevalence of minor incidents increased. For example, face coverings were cited as an inhibitor of effective communication between workers. The availability of remote working arrangements to some construction workers led to
some participants reporting the presence of an ‘us-them’ culture.
