The CFA’s recently launched Clear Our Workspace campaign toolkit is available for members to view and download from the CFA website member area.
This initiative is designed specifically to address a significant challenge faced by our contractor members - maintaining clear and accessible workspaces on multi-trade sites.
Central to this campaign is the CFA principle of the “responsible no”, supporting members in occasionally making the tough decision to delay installation if site conditions are not suitable.
Building on the success of our first site conditions campaign “Winter Warning” (developed to helps members to achieve adequate heating on sites during the colder months) the new “Clear Our Workspace” campaign tackles another critical area: clear workspaces and uncontaminated subfloors. Every UK flooring contractor knows the frustration of working in environments where multiple trades overlap, leading to cluttered workspaces and contaminated subfloors. Such conditions not only hinder productivity but also jeopardise the quality and integrity of flooring installations. This latest campaign offers a comprehensive response to this widespread issue.
The Clear Our Workspace toolkit has several key resources to help raise awareness and foster better collaboration from main contractors and other trades on-site. Among these resources are a site poster, which can be printed and displayed on notice boards ensuring that all trades are aware of the requirements for a successful flooring installation.
The full kit includes the site poster/flyer, an email footer for members to add to their emails to highlight the importance of clear workspaces, and section 2 of the CFA Guide to Contract Flooring that applies. We have also created some tea/coffee coasters for members to use as giveaways for clients to help raise awareness. Members can obtain these by emailing info@cfa.org.uk or calling 0115 941 1126 - please note supplies are limited and so will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
