What are the Protocols and their requirements?
There are two sets of Construction protocols, one for “Small Construction Projects (SCP)” and a one for “Large Construction Projects (LCP).” Both protocols require strict social distancing and job health and safety standards.
The Large Construction Project Safety Protocol requires: updated Health and Safety Plans, and both an on-site Safety Compliance Officer (SCO) and a third-party Jobsite Safety Accountability Supervisor (JSAS).
The JSAS Role: the JSAS will work with the Contractor and the Public Health Department to provide third-party project compliance verification through documentation of visual inspections and interviews with workers during site visits. As needed, the JSAS will work with the Prime Contractor’s SCO to resolve any deficiencies in compliance with the Safety Protocols. The JSAS must possess an OSHA-30 certificate, First Aid training and be trained in the protocols and compliance verification.
