Now that a deal has been signed with the EU it is to be hoped that the next couple of years will be spent sorting out what works and what doesn't and working to become partners with the Common Market rather than opponents. Amongst the many things that we have learned from the pandemic, as well, is that for every strong opinion being held about the way we should have been handllng it, there is an equally valid opposite opinion. The human impact of both of these events cannot be trivialized - the COVID19 global pandemic considerably more drastic than Brexit - but the lives of everybody in the country have been dramatically affected.
As we rebuild our economy, and reshape our infrastructure to address a future full of opportunities as well as challenges, it is to be hoped that the concern we are having to show our fellow citizens will be part of the process of regeneration and that the health and wellbeing of workers is as much of value as their productivity. That is why it is not such a co-incidence that we have featured PhysioWizard in this newsletter whereas we have previously had articles from Bentley and Mass Motion that dealt with the creation of socially distanced office space.
The shift towards Working from Home is, perhaps, a future demographic that has been dragged forward a decade or so by the pandemic, but it doesn’t affect the construction industries primary workforce. Working on a building site has its own hazards, and whilst industrial accidents may be more common in this industry than in others, lower level strains and injuries are more common because of the nature of the work, and probably cause more days to be lost with subsequent disruption to the project's cost and schedule. PhysioWizard gives project managers a tool for diagnosing, reporting and subsequently treating what are commonly known as Musculoskeletal injuries.
