That's fine. They have a duty of care toward you. Sometimes the easiest way for actioning that duty of care is to cancel you being there.
We had exactly the same situation with anchor trust we had been using ladders for years doing loads of schemes for them up to 3 storey with ladders , then in April 2005 we weren’t allowed on site if we had a ladder on the van and it was checked before we were allowed on site by the manager .
I've avoided that, I contacted all of my commercial customers and proactively confirmed I would be stopping. All of mine are closed or at best running a skeleton staff. I didn't get through to my biggest one, absolutely shat myself when he called cos I'm really keen not to wait for him to get in touch to reconvene, I cut straight in and said I was planning to call and that I know they're closed and planning to just carry on when places start to reopen. I would suggest any of you take a similar stance, you don't want to be waiting for the call to carry on.
I emailed all my commercial work today, had a few replying fully understanding and wishing us well. Majority I got the out of office reply so probably shut.
We clean a business and the business managers house. He has temporarily cancelled our services. He says that while one of us could clean the house windows with no contact, it was what his neighbours might think and or say regarding us doing non essential work.
Remember the Government has dropped the non essential work bit from their guidelines. If you can’t work from home you can go to work
That's interesting. Thanks.
