WASHINGTON, DC The Construction Industry Safety Coalition (CISC), an organization that represents 25 construction trade associations, has updated its guidance for construction-related business owners, employees and subcontractors regarding coronavirus exposure prevention, preparedness and response.

The CISCs Coronavirus Preparedness & Response Plan applicable for home builders, residential remodelers and related industry professionals describes how to prevent worker exposure to coronavirus, protective measures to be taken on jobsites, personal protective equipment and work-practice controls to be used, cleaning and disinfecting procedures, and what to do if a worker becomes sick.

The updates include significant revisions and additions to the CISCs original guidelines related to COVID-19, including: new guidance on the use of face coverings, including masks and cloth coverings; a new section, Guidance for Critical Infrastructure Employers, based on CDC guidance; procedures for screening and allowing visitors onto jobsites, and an appendix on the procedures for monitoring the temperature of workers.

The safety plan is customizable for companies vying to meet state requirements for a coronavirus response plan and includes a graphic-based poster intended for display, according to the CISC.
