Protecting Yourself and Others
-
Continue to follow all safe work procedures. If it is unsafe to work, talk to your supervisor, health and safety committee or representative, and/or union.
-
Practice physical distancing by working more than 2 metres (6 feet) apart from others.
-
Stay home if you are sick or might be sick. Follow the Public Health Agency of Canada’s steps for self-assessment: https://www.canada.ca/coronavirus
-
Wear gloves and do not touch your face.
-
Wash your hands at the start of your shift, before eating or drinking, after touching shared items, after using the washroom, and before leaving the site. Remove jewellery while washing.
-
Do not share communication devices, personal protective equipment, cigarettes, or vaping equipment.
-
Do not spit on-site.
-
Remove work clothes and wash them as soon as you get home.
On-site Sanitation
-
Provide access to handwashing stations (even if it is a spouted water container, catch bucket for water, soap, and paper towels) or provide hand sanitizer. If hands are visibly dirty, they must be washed with soap and water.
-
Clean offices, washrooms, lunch/break rooms and/or trailers, and other workspaces every day. Focus on commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs, handles, handrails, tables, chairs, pens, tools, radios, vending machines, and kitchen equipment.
-
Regularly clean shared tools, phones, and other devices with alcohol or disinfectant wipes.
-
Assign one driver per vehicle, or clean shared vehicles between driver changes.
Site Management
-
Minimize the number of workers at one time on-site. Stagger trades and their work locations, meetings, breaks, tool cribs, safety toolbox talks, and orientations.
-
Ask everyone to check in. Do not allow people on-site if they are sick or might be sick.
-
Minimize contact during sign-in. Have the supervisor sign in for people (or provide separate pens), or have people text the supervisor. Clean any sign-in devices between users.
-
Submit hazard assessments and documents electronically, or wash hands after handling papers.
-
Control site movement to reduce gathering at scaffolds, hoists, washrooms and other high traffic areas.
-
Designate travel paths so workers do not have to pass each other closely (e.g., one set of stairs for up, another for down) or have workers call out before entering a shared space.
-
Hold meetings in an outside or large space to allow for physical distancing of at least 2 metres (6 feet) between people.
-
Hold verbal orientations to avoid touching papers.
Crew Management
-
Maintain physical distancing, unless otherwise unsafe to do so (3-4 workers per 1000 square feet, or 10 workers per 10,000 square feet, and keep large job shacks to 5 people, and small shacks to 3)
-
Keep crews together so that they are comfortable working in closer proximity when absolutely necessary.
-
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as a respirator, face shield, gloves, and long-sleeved shirts, if appropriate and available. Train workers on how to work with and care for PPE, and to understand its limitations.
-
Discuss with crews how to perform work safely while maintaining distance. Modify production schedules if necessary.
-
Make sure workers are trained to work safely before replacing the duties of others.
-
Consider multiple shifts to help keep distance between workers and to accommodate those with caregiving needs.
-
Make sure workers on-site have the necessary skills and training to operate equipment, perform first aid, supervise, etc.
