So what are these Covid 19 Protection Plan signs in Construction Zones?

If you travel thru any Construction zone lately you will see an orange sign like the one below which is outside a rented 2nd floor office for a contractor doing work on Boulevard of Allies project in Pittsburgh

They say Covid 19 protection plan in Effect

Which is a good thing.

NIOSH and OSHA have developed plans to protect our worksites
 

First the sign lets the public know that roadside workers are taking precautions to protect themselves and public from Covid 19 but it also tells any potential employee ,supplier or contractor coming on site  that the site is safe and they need to take precautions which includes seeing the  Covid Safety Officer upon arriving so they are aware of what precautions they must take under the covid 19 plan .

As our workforce is getting older and grayer they must take precautions to protect their health  and proudly I can say from personnel experience many are taking better care to keep work sites sanitary than the have in the past.
