Both orders reference Appendix B-1 which can be found below.

“…the Order allows all construction to proceed as Essential Business, consistent with the State shelter-in-place order, so long as it done safely in accordance with specified health protocols. The order includes a protocol for small projects, which means projects of 10 or fewer residential units or commercial projects with less than 20,000 square feet, and a separate one for large projects. “

“this Order makes clear that face coverings are required for operators and customers of outdoor businesses as well as construction, with certain limitations.”

Below you can find a copy of “ORDER OF THE HEALTH OFFICER No. C19-07c Appendix B-1 “ which more clearly outlines regulations for construction.

Here are some key points:

  • This SCP Protocol does not apply to construction projects where a person is performing construction on their current residence either alone or solely with members of their own household.

  • Designate a site-specific COVID-19 supervisor or supervisors to enforce this guidance. A

    designated COVID-19 supervisor must be present on the construction site at all times during construction activities. A COVID-19 supervisor may be an on-site worker who is designated to serve in this role.

  • Establish a daily screening protocol for arriving staff to ensure that potentially infected staff

    do not enter the construction site. If workers leave the jobsite and return the same day, establish a cleaning and decontamination protocol prior to entry and exit of the jobsite. Post the daily screening protocol at all entrances and exits to the jobsite.

  • Where construction work occurs within an occupied residential unit, separate work areas

    must be sealed off from the remainder of the unit with physical barriers such as plastic sheeting or closed doors sealed with tape to the extent feasible.
