Industry professionals should have proper
written protocols, procedures and policies in
place that show consideration of the issues
that have arisen as a result of COVID-19.
• Contact tracing. Employers should
consider maintaining a mandatory
sign-in sheet for everyone entering
jobsites that indicates who that
person will be meeting or working
with so effective contract tracing
can be done if necessary.
• Staggered shifts. Implementing
staggered start and end times
to the workday and to lunch
breaks is an option for reducing
unnecessary contact and promoting
physical distancing.
Protocol for COVID-19 positive cases
There should be a protocol in place
outlining decontamination procedures
in case a worker tests positive, to obtain
and secure information for contract
tracing and a plan for shutting down
the site temporarily and reopening it if
necessary. Without these protocols in
place, employers might be unprepared
on what to do and workers might cite
safety concerns as justification for not
returning to work.
Such protocols could include advising
co-workers if a worker tests positive,
securing information for contract tracing
and contact information to inform public
health officials where appropriate, along
with guidelines to ensure compliance
with health information privacy laws.
Industry professionals should also
consider removing someone from the
workplace even if they have not tested
positive, but are symptomatic.
What to do if found to be in breach
of public health orders

to provide reasonable precautions for
