The above documents were developed by the Construction Industry Safety Coalition, a group of nearly 50 construction associations. This meant to help assist with job site direction on how to deal with the COVID-19. The documents will be distributed by the groups with the hope that the construction industry will have a unified message of what to expect on the job site during these difficult times. By working together on this, we will eliminate confusion.

There are several documents and forms for your use. It is possible that as the situation develops with COVID-19 and as directives are modified, that these documents will change. We will keep you updated and you are welcome to visit our website frequently to find the latest information on the topic. It is very important to point out that there is a disclaimer about cleaning equipment, particularly with regard to controls and buttons. Please make sure you read manufacturers recommendations on the cleaning of them. Some have found that cleaning them with anything other than soap and water can void the warranty on the equipment, so please make sure that you check the manufacturers warranties on equipment cleaning of controls. 

Please feel free to contact jeffb@masoncontractors.org with any questions or concerns.
