Kittitas County COVID-19 Job Site Requirements Version 1 – April 21, 2020 Kittitas County COVID-19 Job Site Requirements All Contractors and/or Property Owners are required to post these Job Site Requirements at each job site as written notice to employees, subcontractors and government officials. As condition of working on job site during applicable Health Orders, employers shall obtain from each employee a signed commitment to adhere to the requirements listed in this document. COVID-19 Site Supervisor 1. A site-specific COVID-19 Supervisor shall be designated by the contractor at every job site to monitor the health of employees and enforce the COVID-19 job site safety plan. A designated COVID-19 Supervisor must be present at all times during construction activities, except this requirement only applies on job sites whenever there are 7 or more people on the site. COVID-19 Safety Training 2. A safety stand-down/toolbox talk/tailgate training on these Job Site Requirements must be conducted on all job sites on the first day of returning to work, and weekly thereafter, to explain the protective measures in place for all workers. Social distancing must be maintained at all gatherings. 3. Attendance will be communicated verbally, and the trainer will sign in each attendee. 4. These Job Site Requirements shall be visibly posted on each job site. Social Distancing 5. Social distancing of at least 6 feet of separation must be maintained by every person on the worksite at all times. 6. Gatherings of any size must be precluded by taking breaks and lunch in shifts. Any time two or more persons must meet, ensure minimum 6 feet of separation. 7. Identify “choke points” and “high-risk areas” on job sites where workers typically congregate and control them so that social distancing is always maintained. 8. Minimize interactions when picking up or delivering equipment or materials and ensure minimum 6-foot separation. 9. To the extent practical, allow only one trade/subcontractor at a time on a jobsite and maintain 6-foot separation social distancing for each member of that trade. If more than one trade/subcontractor must be on the job to complete the job, then at a minimum all trades and subcontractors must maintain social distancing policies in accordance with this guidance.
