Who’s going to work today?

My son and I traveled to site this morning, when we left the yard it was dry, but as we reached site it was raining and reasonably windy. I discussed the situation with my son and then the customer (at a distance of about 5M) It was decided that we would give it a miss and work tomorrow and Saturday. Wind and rain increase the risk of accident and injury. I am trying to walk the line between keeping going and avoiding any increased risk of calling on an already stretched NHS.
