You don’t need government for that.

From the top of my head the availability/requirement to use PPE, potential amendments to the the 2 metre rule, access to mythical antibody tests and access to childcare for those that aren’t ‘key workers’ are immediate variables that would make a substantive risk assessment impossible just a few weeks ago in advance of any opening

You lack vision, something most entrepreneurs and successful business owners should have. I’m sure those that can, are putting measures in place. Obviously not all can.

As you say construction voluntarily shut down in England so presumably has fewer obstacles than other sectors.
|
no, they had massive issues, including supply chain of other firms. But construction was never mandated to close. So if they did suddenly they were issued with breach of contract orders, so they had to get back to work, and as I’m sure are aware there is no sector more focused on H&S than the construction industry. So before they started up a lot of work went into how they could do it safely.

For other businesses the furlough scheme is exactly there to ensure they aren’t required to operate unsafely or prematurely in the pursuit of profits at the cost of workers lives.
|
and I would not expect them to, but I would expect them to be using all their efforts to explore how they can operate safely and unfurlough their employees ASAP.
