ii.
the subcontractor has reviewed the General Contractor’s jobsite-specific
Social Distancing Protocol and trained its workers on that Protocol; and
iii.
the subcontractor has completed and submitted its own Social Distancing
Protocol covering its operations, and has provided a copy of that Protocol
to the General Contractor.
General Contractors and Subcontractors Must Report COVID-19 Positive Cases
a.
Whenever the General Contractor learns that a person who has tested positive for
COVID-19 was at the jobsite within 48 hours of the date they were tested or
within 48 hours of becoming symptomatic, the General Contractor must
immediately implement the jobsite-specific Social Distancing Protocol’s
procedures for when a person tests positive for COVID-19. All positive cases
must be reported by following the instructions at www.sccsafeworkplace.org.
b.
All subcontractors must immediately (within 1 hour, regardless of the time of
day) alert the General Contractor as soon as they learn that an employee has tested
positive who is currently at the jobsite, or who was at the jobsite within 48 hours
of the date they were tested or within 48 hours of becoming symptomatic. This
reporting requirement is in addition to the subcontractor’s own reporting
requirements under the Order and the procedures in the subcontractor’s Social
Distancing Protocol.
Cleaning After Positive Case Identified
Upon learning of a confirmed positive case at the jobsite within the last 48 hours, any
location where the infected worker was known to have been present must be immediately
closed and sanitized. Work in these locations must cease until sanitization is complete.

General Contractor is Responsible for Ensuring the Jobsite is Operated Safely Following
All Legal Requirements
a.
The General Contractor must ensure that everyone at the jobsite—including its
own workers, the subcontractors’ workers, and visitors—complies with the Order,
this Directive, the jobsite-specific Social Distancing Protocol, and any other laws
and regulations that apply to the work (for example, OSHA and Cal-OSHA
requirements). If there is a conflict in what different laws require, the strictest
standard applies.
b.
The General Contractor’s responsibility for ensuring jobsite compliance under
this paragraph 4 does not, however, relieve any subcontractors of their own
responsibilities under the Order, their Social Distancing Protocol, this Directive,
and all other applicable laws and regulations.
