​Challenge

This also meant ensuring the highest levels of health and safety, ensuring the public community and staff could access areas and rooms safely, ensuring no work areas with members of the public, ensuring no work material was left unattended with strict clean as you go procedures, ensuring dust minimisation via alupods and dust exactors and carefully scheduled and managed works including the A&E facility where there is a constant presence of public and staff.
