Time To Shut Down Construction Sites
- Thread starter glamphotographer
- Start date
Ford warned the construction companies to get their act together. There won't be anyone alive to see an economy if we keep this up.
Most, if not all, large and medium outfits are already on the reduced pace with all workers free to chose if they're uncomfortable with the risk levels. The safety reminders are constantly being repeated, several times a day, and some major changes, like the crew travel has been eliminated. Not all the sites have proper washing facilities, yet, but that's being addressed as well. The greatest threat remains to the support staff and that has been addressed by decreasing and rotating occupancy in the office facilities on sites and, off sites, having the projects run out of workers homes. The greatest assurance of workers safety are the workers themselves who are completely aware of the risks and who seriously participate in making sure that safety rules are observed at all times. I have never seen this much of attention to health and safety being embraced so universally on the construction sites. Ever.
The decision was just made, effective tomorrow at midnight.

Or is it 2-3 months? Or six? Or maybe a year? It's been over 5 months in China. What's the time line?
Only nonessential construction is shut down. They will continue banging outside your window. :bolt:
The ones that don't have hand sanitizer or running water and soap in the portable washrooms.
They also closed down the good ones that provide proper washroom facilities.
The guys who use them also need to stop treating the good ones like a garbage bin. The respect goes both ways
On a side note the MOL should change the rules when and where to use the porta potties if they want conditions to change. It needs to be legislated in other words to ban the use except under very specific conditions
