Construction companies and contractors will need to identify risks and adopt new policies to ensure employee and customer safety. Here are a few areas to consider:
- Discuss with your employees their personal concerns, such as workplace safety, chronic medical conditions or age-related risk factors.
- Identify workplace risks, such as safety meetings where workers are in close proximity to one another, or tools which are handled by multiple employees.
- Detail procedures for handwashing stations, workplace sanitation improvements, as well as tool and surface disinfecting.
- Create social distancing protocols to help protect your workers and customers.
- Look to your association for resources and advice - Many are offering discounted memberships, and combined with group-buying incentives, there’s never been a better time to join.
