SAFETY GUIDELINES UPON RESUMPTION OF WORK

FOREWORD
Our Employees and Workers must be protected from environmental hazards that arise out of or during the
course of employment. Hazardous exposures which may adversely affect their health, both immediate and
long term effect, must be controlled. That is why the Safety Department developed a program which deals
with the recognition, evaluation and control of environment health hazard. Environment health hazards may
include conditions which cause legally compensable illness, or any conditions in the work environment that
impair the health of employees and workers to the extent that they lose work and/or efficiency. That this
program will provide management with information necessary for the control of recognized health hazards
such as the COVID 19.

This Safety Plan was established to provide VPDC Project Management,Client Staff ,and Supervisors
including that of the Subcontractors, Suppliers of all trades involved in the project sites with the guidelines
and road maps of the Safety, Health and Security Program of VPDC amidst the COVID 19 pandemic. It
outlines the techniques and procedures which are essential for the protection of the company’s greatest asset
- its people. We wish to emphasize that the topics covered by this plan shall become a basic part of our
policy. All levels of supervision shall be held responsible for the effective implementation of all plans,
procedures and standards prescribed herein.

To prevent the spread of the COVID-19, the collective efforts of every individual in an area is very much
needed As we prepare to return to work and deliver what we promised to our client, let us bear in mind that
the safety and welfare of our employees, workers, and our business client is our top priority.

These Guidelines will serve as our handbook so we can safely operate in our respective sites. It is also in
accordance with the safety guidelines of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF)/DOH/OSH/ on Emerging
Infectious Disease COVID 19 for Construction Project sites and workers’ health safety and security.

return to work.

• Employee Has Close Contact with an Individual Who Has Tested Positive for COVID-19

Employees who have come into close contact with an individual who has tested positive for COVID-19
(co-worker or otherwise) will be directed to self-quarantine for 14 days from the last date of close contact
with that individual. Close contact is defined as six (6) feet for a prolonged period of time.
If an employee has tested positive, the employer will conduct an investigation to determine co-workers who
may have had close contact with the confirmed positive employee in the prior 14 days and direct those
individuals who have had close contact with the confirmed-positive employee to self-quarantine for 14 days
from the last date of close contact with that employee. If applicable, the Contractor will also notify any
sub-contractors, vendors/suppliers or visitors who may have had close contact with the confirmed-positive
employee. If an employee learns that he or she has come into close contact with a confirmed-positive
individual outside of the workplace, he/she must alert a manager or supervisor of the close contact and
self-quarantine for 14 days from the last date of close contact with that individual.

COVID-19 Checklist for Employers and Employees Know the Symptoms of COVID-19

 How is COVID-19 Spread?

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19 is one of seven types of known human coronaviruses. COVID-19, like
the MERS and SARS coronaviruses, likely evolved from a virus previously found in animals. The remaining
known coronaviruses cause a significant percentage of colds in adults and children, and these are not a
serious threat for otherwise healthy adults. Patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection have reportedly had
mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services/Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (“CDC”), Chinese authorities identified an outbreak caused by a novel—or new—coronavirus.
The virus can cause mild to severe respiratory illness. The outbreak began in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China,
and has spread to a growing number of other countries—including the United States.

How is COVID-19 Spread?

COVID-19, like other viruses, can spread between people. Infected people can spread COVID-19 through
their respiratory secretions, especially when they cough or sneeze. According to the CDC, spread from
person-to-person is most likely among close contacts (about 6 feet). Person-to-person spread is thought to
occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, like influenza
and other respiratory pathogens. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or
possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It is currently unclear if a person can get COVID-19 by touching a
surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their
eyes. In assessing potential hazards, employers should consider whether their workers
may encounter someone infected with COVID-19 in the course of their duties. Employers should also
determine if workers could be exposed to environments (e.g., worksites) or materials (e.g., laboratory
samples, waste) contaminated with the virus.
Depending on the work setting, employers may also rely on identification of sick individuals who have signs,
symptoms, and/or a history of travel to COVID-19- affected areas that indicate potential infection with the
virus, in order to help identify exposure risks for workers and implement appropriate control measures.
There is much more to learn about the transmissibility, severity, and other features associated with
COVID-19, and investigations are ongoing.

COVID-19 Prevention and Work Practice Controls: Worker Responsibilities

• Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. When soap and running water are
unavailable, use an alcohol-based hand rub with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands that are visibly
soiled.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Employees who have symptoms (i.e., fever, cough, or shortness of breath) should notify their supervisor
and stay home—DO NOT GO TO WORK.

criteria to discontinue home isolation are met, in consultation with healthcare providers and state and
local health departments.

General Job Site / Office Practices

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as workstations, keyboards, telephones,
handrails, and doorknobs. Dirty surfaces can be cleaned with soap and water prior to disinfection. To
disinfect, use products that meet EPA’s criteria, the cause of COVID-19, and are appropriate for the
surface.
• Avoid using other employees’ phones, desks, offices, or other work tools and equipment, when possible. If
necessary, clean and disinfect them before and after use.

level of standards to protect the health of the workers in the construction site. Likewise, they will shoulder
the additional costs for the implementation ofthese standards.
