Coronavirus (COVID-19) - Statement from Burren and Whitaker Construction Ltd.

The health, safety and wellbeing of our, colleagues, contractors, suppliers and the wider public is our top priority.

In response to the Coronavirus, we have implemented our business continuity procedures to safeguard our people and operations. We will operate our projects as usual, in compliance with government advice.

As the impact upon the construction industry from COVID-19 develops, we will continue to evolve our mitigation plans as much as possible. This way we can ensure we continue making progress on our projects by looking for alternative materials, management and labour resources.

Within the individual project contingency strategies, we are planning for all possibilities, which include the minimum level of resource required to operate our sites and project offices safely.

We continue to advise colleagues/contractors on government guidance and are actively promoting preventative measures to minimise the risk of infection. These include continued focus upon hygiene and cleaning, encouraging video conferencing and remote working, as well as flexible working hours and short-term succession planning. The update from CLC regarding ‘Site Operating Procedures’ (Protecting Your Workforce During Coronavirus/Covid-19) has been incorporated into site inductions and management process everyday.

Our focus is the safe continuity of business during this period and we will continue to review our solutions as the situation evolves.
