The construction industry is scrambling to stay compliant and implement new safety regulations to protect employees from the sudden outbreak of COVID-19. In late April, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission revised its guidance on the Americans with Disabilities Act to bring clarity to updates from the Center for Disease Control, directing the construction industry to check employees daily for COVID-19 symptoms.
Contractors are rushing to meet the guidelines and many are turning to technology to get it done. Instead of having a more complex situation on their hands where physical files and documents would need to be produced and maintained, a contractor can use a resource management program to easily test, document and share results increasing safety and productivity without compromising anyone’s privacy.
