Highbury Concrete, a prominent construction contractor in the New York City area, focuses on concrete placement and related services. To protect its workforce and the public, Highbury Concrete works to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission through workplace distancing.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that all companies take steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19. On its website, the CDC suggests that employers conduct a comprehensive hazard assessment of the workplace to identify potential COVID-19-related workplace hazards.
After identifying hazards, employers should determine what controls and personal protective equipment (PPE) are needed for employees to safely fulfill certain job duties. Employers should provide the identified PPE to their workers at no cost and train employees on their correct use.
Even when hazard assessments determine there is no need for PPE, the CDC recommends that employers encourage workers to use a cloth to cover their nose and mouth at work. Any employee showing symptoms should be sent home immediately.
