Tips for Operating Construction Sites During the COVID-19

Posted by Heather Homes on April 13th, 2021

As regions and states are opening up again by following strict rules it is essential to adapt the protocols and take the necessary measures to resume the work at constructions sites. It’s important to remain informed and updated about the outbreak conditions to implement prevention measures accordingly. 
 
Here are the tips to keep construction sites safe for your workers: 
 
Provide Handwash facility and sanitizer 
 
At the construction site, provide sanitizer for everyone at areas like entrance and exit, canteen, break spot, dressing room and toilets. Request and encourage everyone at the site to wash hands on arrival and while leaving, especially the employees.  
 
Regular Sanitization
 
Sanitization has become very much essential in the current situation. Make it a point to sanitize the places where everyone touches. Door knobs, handles and surface have to be sanitized as many people touch these. Sanitize the frequently used tools every day and provide proper instructions to employees to sanitize their safety equipment like helmet, boots and rubber gloves.  
 
Avoid Touching your Face 
 
While at the site, we could be touching surfaces contaminated and these viruses can be picked up by our hands and enter our body through our eyes, nose and mouth. Touching our face is something everyone does unconsciously but in a situation like this such a habit can put your health at risk.
