I wouldn’t dream of suggesting what our government has done up to this point has been a complete fuck up. Not at all. Absolutely no change needed in any of their strategies, policies, directives, attitudes or abilities, you’re right. My bad, sorry. You've been a very naughty boy. Grounded for the next 3 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 5 and that's for the initial handling or the crisis, since then it's lucky if it's been a 1 as increasingly showing that the gov is in the thrall of HNWI and Construction companies and consults all them before making any decisions and then doubling down with diluting any health related responses with massive salaried management levels that are simply not required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers say one thing, Foremen and workers do another. Such a shame, everyone knows its hard......but you could at least try FFS Most, if not all of the merchants have voluntarily closed anyway.

She has now spoken to a very polite lady, and someone is going to phone her back to make an appointment now that she has phoned them to confirm she got the letter they sent out telling her she is entitled to an appointment. You couldn't make it up. Admin for admins sake. I wonder how successful the projects Ashford used to manage actually were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptarmigan Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I think they've managed not badly at all in a finely balanced situation. There was an element of luck but the systems were in place to manage the luck. Up till about a week ago - they should have locked down again harder and earlier. Half term and the kids has just spread it around massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said they should be stopped. I said they only have themselves to blame if they are stopped. We should do everything in our power to keep construction outside work going. Its very low risk but guys 1ft apart having a fag (ooerr missus) is avoidable.

When I checked the dashboard yesterday only 1 was listed in the 'X transport' cohort as being vaccinated with one 2nd dose due. I haven't checked the dashboard today.

Cos it's total bollocks. The majority of people in construction industry are taking the directives very seriously. Earlier today there was an informative & reassuring Teams meeting, there are numerous downloads and printable posters on the construction federation website. The government building regs guys are going out to sites to offer advice too, it's really great to see so many people doing their best to keep construction going. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcement due extending lockdown to 5 weeks and anticipated ~300+ active cases by Monday.

It's that simple. Either they don't know and need guidance (which is freely available) or they're irresponsible idiots and need shooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
