Submit a new or updated Site‐Specific Health and Safety Plan (“HASP”) to the University representative if Contractor does not already have an approved plan on file with the University that meets the requirements of this PWP Protocol. Post the plan on-site at all entrances and exits and translate the HASP for trainings and signs as necessary to ensure that all non‐English speaking workers are able to understand information in the HASP.
-
Establish the level of PPE required for each specific task. Create a task specific Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) for all tasks that may require staff to work inside of the six‐foot social distancing zone. Make JHA forms immediately available to the University representative and inspectors for review upon request.
-
Maintain a daily attendance log of all workers and visitors that includes contact information, including name, address, phone number, email address, and employer.

Compile daily written verification that each jobsite is compliant with the components of this PWP Protocol. Each written verification form must be copied, stored, and made immediately available upon request by any University official.
-
Maintain and make available a log of all PPE training to employees.
Signage - Post a notice in multiple languages at an area visible to all workers instructing workers to do the following
-
Do not touch your face with unwashed hands or with gloves;

Translate the remediation plan as necessary to ensure that all non‐English speaking workers are able to understand the document.
Social Distancing / Screening
-
Establish a daily screening protocol for arriving staff to ensure that potentially infected staff do not enter the jobsite. If workers leave the jobsite and return the same day, establish a cleaning and decontamination protocol prior to entry and exit of the jobsite. Post the daily screening protocol at all entrances and exits to the jobsite.
-
Establish an assembly point for staff “tailgate meetings” before the start of work each day, which complies with the recommended social distancing parameters. Conduct daily briefings in person or by teleconference that cover the following topics: <br>• New jobsite rules and pre‐jobsite travel restrictions for the prevention of COVID‐19 community spread; <br>• Review of sanitation and hygiene procedures; <br>• Solicitation of worker feedback on improving safety and sanitation; <br>• Coordination of construction site daily cleaning/sanitation requirements; <br>• Conveying updated information regarding COVID‐19; and, <br>• Emergency protocols in the event of an exposure or suspected exposure to COVID‐19.
-
Stagger start‐times and stop‐times for shift schedules to reduce the number of workers at the jobsite at any one time to the extent feasible.
-
Stagger trade‐specific work to minimize the number of workers at the jobsite at any one time to the extent feasible.
-

Strictly control “choke points” and “high‐risk areas” where workers are unable to maintain minimum 6‐foot social distancing and prohibit or limit access to such areas to ensure that minimum 6‐foot distancing can easily be maintained between workers.
-
Minimize interactions and maintain social distancing with all site visitors, including delivery workers, design professional, other project consultants, and University representatives, including construction and fire inspectors.
-
Prohibit workers from using others’ phones or desks. Clean any work tools or equipment that must be used by more than one worker with disinfectants that are effective against COVID‐19 before use by a new worker.

-
Conduct contact tracing of each area where the infected worker was present and immediately notify any exposed workers.
-
Decontaminate and sanitize each location at which the infected worker was present.
-
Immediately notify the University Representative and UCSF Occupational Health Services via OHS@ucsf.edu and perform any additional actions required by a University Representative.
