How to Reopen the Workplace: Part 4, Reimagining Jobsite Safety
The recent webinar from the American Subcontractors Association, “ASA COVID-19 Response: Reopening The Worksite Attorneys' Council Panel,” included insights from Charles Keller, partner at Snell & Wilmer LLP, regarding the administrative and engineering steps that subcontractors can take to ensure safety and liability protection as they reopen the workplace and jobsite.
In offering jobsite safety suggestions, Keller highlighted the importance of establishing a workplace coordinator, a dedicated employee for compliance with COVID-19 safety measures. He or she might do a variety of things to help meet the new safety standards, including documenting the proper sanitation of facilities, ensuring information is clearly posted for employees, enforcing the use of PPE, and organizing jobsite visitors.
