work area must be cleaned and sanitized at the beginning and at the end of
workdays.

Every effort must be taken to minimize contact between workers and residents or
occupants, including maintaining a minimum of at least 6 feet of social distancing
at all times.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The General Contractor must obtain, provide at no cost to workers, and require that all
workers use personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate for use in construction,
including gloves, goggles, face shields, and face coverings as appropriate for the activity
being performed. Face coverings must be worn in compliance with the State’s mandatory
Guidance for the Use of Face Coverings and any additional directives issued by the
County Health Officer. At no time may medical-grade PPE be used at a construction site
unless it is required due to the medical nature of the jobsite or local, state, or federal
workplace safety requirements.

Social Distancing, Sanitizing, and other Measures
a.
The General Contractor must:
i.
Ensure compliance at the jobsite with the Order’s density limitations
except to the extremely limited extent a higher density is temporarily
necessary to safely carry out a specific job function.
1.
ii.
Stagger shifts, breaks, and trade-specific work as necessary to reduce
density and allow for easy maintenance of minimum 6-foot distancing.
Staggered shifts and breaks must comply with applicable wage and hour
laws.
1.
iii.
The density limitations apply to all indoor areas where
construction work is actively being performed. Density limitations
do not apply to staging areas or lay-down areas that are separate
from the area where construction work is actively being performed.
All persons must maintain minimum 6-foot distancing except to
the extremely limited extent shorter distances are temporarily
necessary to safely carry out a specific job function.
Eliminate or resolve “choke points” and “high-risk areas” where workers
are unable to maintain 6-foot social distancing. The General Contractor
must prohibit or limit use of these areas to ensure that 6-foot distance can
easily be maintained between individuals.
