Here are some of the protocols we are implementing to remain safe, productive and operational while still doing our part to flatten the curve and slow the spread of this disease: Work from Home policy continues to be implemented with return to office offered for employees not essential to site-specific functions. Heightened cleaning and social distancing remains in place for on-site employees. Social Distancing procedures are being encouraged on job sites, including but not limited to: Communication to all on-site workers of COVID-19 symptoms, and infection prevention practices Conference calls are highly encouraged for any meetings. No group lunches No buffet style food – individual or box lunches only. Avoid group lunch or break rooms – spread out where possible. Avoid close contact with fellow coworkers and tradespeople. Coordinate construction activities apart from each other. Minimize external visitors to the jobsite. Avoid group trainings / discussions. Do not share personal protective equipment (PPE). Ensure PPE is disposed of properly. Sanitize reuseable PPE and tools when shared; such as power tools, mobile lifts, pallet jacks, and face shields. Utilize disposable gloves where appropriate. Wash hands after removing gloves. Portable restrooms shall provide hand sanitizer in each unit and additional cleanings. Rent additional hand washing stations from the portable restroom supplier, if available. Coordinate with on-site facilities if possible to utilize existing washrooms for hand washing. All on-site workers are encouraged to self-report any COVID-19 symptoms to their immediate supervisor for immediate reporting to on-site general supervision. Elevator use for material delivery should involve the operator and person assisting the delivery. All other workers should consider using stairs when possible. Regular disinfection of common areas in the general field office, such as tables, chairs, door knobs, computers, and phones. In addition, we have and continue to reach out to our clients and communities to help where we can, whether by donations of PPE or other needed materials if available; labor and logistics to set up emergency facilities; and other resources as within our ability to provide. We share your commitment to providing for the safety and wellbeing of our people, our clients and partners, and the communities we work in. We are continuing to monitor local, state and CDC guidelines to continue to protect the health and wellbeing of all, and will continue to respond accordingly as conditions change.
