Hi im just wondering if anyone on here is working in a pair or not as i had someone with me before but stopped him to so i can work alone.and was wondering if the time is right to go back as a two man team or not
-
I know of a few 2 man setups in my area that are working and have worked over covid period.
-
I have also seen some,but it was always understood that we can work still but on ones own,just wondered what other people think as im still not sure
-
Are you asking if you are allowed?
Then yes whilst following the guidelines.
-
We are working two to vehicle.
-
We have just started working with 2. Until last week it was just one
-
Time to crack on now I reckon.
The guy that many see as running the country, Dominic Cummings, drove hundreds of miles (while symptomatic), to visit elderly family, at the height of the lockdown.
Apparently as long as you are "sensible" about it, all of the rules and guidelines were always open to interpretation and at no point did you have to pay any attention to any of it.

My son and I work together we both live in the same household and I know two other father and son that is is same.
Can’t speak for others 2 man bands though.

I think that's been the case for many - in all sectors of work
Anyway - drill down to the guidelines and you can share a vehicle - just have a window open - works for the local dustmen

Yup, visit elderly relatives too, especially if you feel unwell.

If you are worried about getting in trouble:

"It's about doing what's right, not what you guys think".
Dominic Cummings.
So what's right?
-
Two men in one van never get through as much work (domestic) as one man in one van.
I've also found in the past that if you mix the wrong two guys together it become a them v you scenario
Thats my experience anyway.

I don’t think you are supposed to be working 2 in a van yet lol,father and son yes or same household but that’s about it although it’s now tempting the guidelines don’t say you can do it.
2 meters apart although they were talking the other day about reducing it sometime soon to 1 meter,went to a garden centre yesterday the guy in the plant section came up beside us and reached down to show us what we were looking for lol,he was about 18” away from us as time goes on it will diminish in people’s minds that they have to keep away from each other.
I thinks it’s still sensible to keep your wits about you for the next few months.

I saw that about two weeks ago, but I’m sure at the start that wasn’t there. Or maybe I was just staying alert before I needed to and thought it didn’t make sense as you can’t socially distance.
-
Yes been working two men from a van for years works well for us.
-
Haven’t got that problem it’s only me. :o

Sorry no. Can't find it now.
You're fine anyway. Do what your instincts tell you. Duminic Commings says so.
