Over the past year, employee safety has focused on Covid-19. Organizations have worked hard to develop Covid-19 protocols for office workers and field/jobsite workers. State and local mandates and regulations changed frequently early in the pandemic, after which safety personnel implemented new measures to conform to the new reality of conducting business. Fortunately, approved vaccines — and increasing numbers of our population receiving these vaccines, will help reduce risk.
One thing that has not changed is the need for construction jobsite safety and situational awareness, and workers must not let their guard down while continuing to focus on Covid-19 protocols.
