• Electricians/Apprentices travelling to site individually
• Promotion of good hygiene standards, including washing hands regularly and use of hand sanitiser
• Ensuring social distancing requirements are met and, where this is not possible, a task cannot be carried out

Responsibilities of Electricians/Apprentices:

• To ensure that all working conditions are safe, and that all health and safety measures are being fully implemented
• Work out staggered lunch break timings to ensure that canteens/welfare areas are limited to only a few people at a time, and that these individuals are adhering to social distancing rules
