North America’s Building Trades Unions and its affiliated research organization, The Center for Construction Research and Training, urged employers on Monday to develop a “comprehensive COVID-19 exposure control plan” with temperature checks and designated COVID-19 officers at job sites. NABTU, which is an alliance of 14 unions representing building and construction workers, said the national framework is meant to provide a coherent and more proactive standard for worker safety. The suggested measures include worker training on the latest disease control measures, designating a COVID-19 officer for every job site, and screening all workers for fever at the beginning of shifts or if they show signs of illness. The measures also include detailed guidance for social distancing in the construction context, such as staggering crew shifts, identifying high-density areas and navigating elevators and personnel hoists.
