HBF and MHCLG launch Charter for Safe Working Practice
May 2020
To support the return to work of housebuilders, the HBF has been working with government to develop a ‘Charter for safe working practice – Covid-19’.
The document demonstrates a commitment from housebuilders and the wider industry to safe working whilst Covid-19 remains prevalent. It also demonstrates government support for house building and sales activity and outlines the measures that should be in place.
As a member of the Home Builders Federation we are committed in our compliance to this Charter. The safety and health of our valued customers, staff and contractors is of the utmost importance to us. We are, and will continue to follow the advice of the government and have implemented all practical measures to help protect our communities.
The intention is that housebuilders will display the Charter on their sites, reinforcing their commitment to safe working and helping reduce concerns that their workforce, communities and customers may have at the current time.
Copies of the charter can be found in all of our marketing suites as well as on the HBF website.
