Where work trailers/field offices are used, only necessary employees should enter the trailers/field offices and all employees should maintain social distancing while inside the trailers/field offices.

3. Discourage hand-shaking and other contact greetings.

4. Prohibit gatherings of any size on the jobsite, except for safety meetings or as strictly necessary to carry out a task associated with the project.

5. Tightly confined spaces (e.g. elevators, hoists) should be occupied by only one individual at the time, unless all occupants are wearing face coverings. If occupied by more than one person, keep occupancy under 50% of maximum capacity.
