Whether your construction project has been shut down or is designated as an “essential project” and work is continuing, there are a number of measures the CDC, OSHA and L&I have implemented to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and to keep workers as safe as possible.
If your construction project has been shut down, there will come a time when it is reopened. When it does reopen, there is a very real possibility that you will be required to quickly increase the workforce on the project to meet the scheduling demands to make up lost time. When projects are accelerated, the NWCB Labor Productivity Study has clearly shown that planned productivity will be adversely affected. (The Labor Productivity Study and its accompanying User Guide are available to NWCB member contractors free of charge. Contact NWCB you if you need a copy.)
