PANDEMIC PLANNING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY- Addendum #1

As we approach the 12 month anniversary of COVID-19 many of us are weary and our people feel likewise. All the more reason to be sure that we do not relax the measures that have kept our people safe up to this point and have ensured that we can keep working.

In our conversations with people in the industry many have asked recently about some of the lessons learned and, in particular, some of the methods being used to track and document relative to COVID.

The following information has been collected from companies that have both implemented and seen the benefit of having this level of rigour in place. We have included 2 Protocol approaches to site cases as well as examples of tracking format and methods. We have also included a specific document that deals with protocols for the office environment. While the principles are very similar in many ways between site and office, there are some specifics that are worthwhile considering so we have included that in this addendum for added information.

Our industry can be extremely proud of how we responded to this crisis and adapted to the new challenges in such a highly proactive manner. It is a tribute to the organizations that make up our great industry along with the safety professionals, their expertise and is an unprecedented example of cross-industry collaboration that has served us well.

Hopefully the information attached will provide more information and potential tools that can assist us all to maintain diligence over the next few months until this can be put behind us.
