Jackson Rowe - professional construction experts dealing with the realities of COVID 19 affecting the construction industry With COVID-19 sweeping the country, the construction industry has been one of the few sectors left facing the dilemma of whether to continue working and stay on site, whilst adopting Public Health England’s guidance relating to social distancing, or, to remove its workforce from site. The dilemma is, that many construction contracts do not provide for such a scenario. HM Government has indicated that essential construction work can continue. At Jackson Rowe, we have already provided contractual advice to several construction companies (and Employers) about the consequences of either of these actions, whilst ensuring that these businesses are protecting both their own company interests (from events such as termination of contracts and potential damages claims) and their people (by ensuring sufficient and appropriate PPE, Antibacterial handwash stations and revised method statements
