Willmott Dixon is using a combination of technology and new practices to maintain social distancing.

Examples of how the company is maintaining social distancing to ensure safe working include:

  • Extra-space for welfare facilities, such as hiring large marquees
  • One-way systems for circulation, especially around bottleneck areas
  • Toolbox-talks to communicate latest guidance and working practices; held in open areas, allowing for the maintenance of the two-metre rule.
  • GoPro technology to film progress, which is uploaded to Microsoft Teams to show latest developments, pause and ask questions.
  • Motion activated voiceover systems to remind people to abide by social distancing on site
  • Hand sanitiser is available in meeting rooms, desks, and site entrances and exits, with dedicated hand wash zones
  • Staggered breaks and lunch times, with clear signage for social distancing in canteens
