We’re in this together: COVID-19 resources for contractors

The coronavirus pandemic continues to impact all industries across the globe. As a result, it’s important for all of us to comply with federal, state and local regulations, guidelines and measures. This means adhering to “social distancing” parameters, wearing proper safety equipment at all times and educating your team members about good hygiene and best practices.

To assist you in these efforts, we’ve taken two separate actions:

1.) We’ve created a COVID-19 Resources for Contractors webpage. This page includes information on:

• What COVID-19 is
• The symptoms that COVID-19 presents
• Tips for employers
• What to educate your employees on
• CDC recommendations for employers
• Planning considerations
• Chapter Created Resource for Recommended Practices for Construction Job Sites

2.) We also submitted a letter to OSHA asking them to:

• Re-evaluate the decision about COVID-19 recordability
• Provide some flexibility in enforcement with respect to respirator use given the current shortage of respirators facing the healthcare industry

We’re living in unprecedented times, and it’s important we do everything we can to keep people safe and healthy. When the pandemic finally ends, and we’re able to return to business as usual, you want a legacy you’re proud of.
