Dear Contractors,
To
keep contractors up to date on important issues related to COVID-19,
the CCB will be sending regular emails with resources, updates,
information about agency services and essential news for the contractor
community. We'll try to keep these communications brief and to the
point.
On Monday March 23, 2020, Oregon Governor Kate Brown issued Executive Order 20-12.
The order did not include construction among the business or industries
required to close. However, the order does require all business that
remain in operation to employ social distancing guidelines
and to designate an employee or officer to establish implement and
enforce social distancing policies consistent with guidance from the
Oregon Health Authority.
Contractors that continue to operate are
encouraged to work closely with their safety specialists and as
appropriate with legal counsel to ensure they operate in compliance with
these requirements.
Construction Worksite Safety
As
construction projects continue, CCB encourages contractors to
incorporate COVID-19 safety planning and worksite-specific safety
practices into their projects. Contractors should continually evaluate
specific risks associated with a particular job site in light of the
guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Oregon
Health Authority and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Construction Industry Resources
Additional
links to construction industry practices and guidelines follow. These
links are provided as informational resources and are not individually
vetted by CCB. Any guidelines must be read in the context of official
guidance as well as the specific circumstances of your job site:
AGC Oregon: COVID-19 Safety and Health
OHBA: COVID-19 Job Site Practices
IBEW: COVID-19 Prevention Guidelines for Construction Trades
NECA: Managing COVID-19 In the Workplace
Governor Requests Help from Contractor Community
Oregon's
medical facilities may soon need essential medical supplies in vast
quantities to fight the COVID-19 virus. The governor has requested that
private sector (including contractors) donate equipment such as
latex-free gloves, procedural masks, surgical masks, N95 respirators and
N95 filters. For more information about where you can take your
donations, view the article on My Oregon News.
