Com rliance with this plan is crucial, and infractions are punishable by law enforcem ait. ( Koru Ltd hereinafter"Corn piny") takes the health and safety of our em Xloyees very seriously. In order to be safe and m antain operations, we have developed this COVID-19 Site Safety Plan to corn ply with the current Pitkin County Health Order. This Plan identifies construction tasks that affect the critical path, and prioritizes these tasks. The Plan addresses the following: o Focuses on activities that are truly critical: Not all construction activities are of equal urgency, those activities that are m cst critical to job progression will be prioritized, to allow for better separation of the workforce. When considering whether a project is critical, the following factors were considered: o W lether the project is under construction already and thus requires active traffic m aiagem fait (in the case of a transportation project) or other work zone safety m casures that benefit from ongoing activity; o W'ether deferral of a start date on a project would underm he public safety or continuity of operations for critical infrastructure; o W lather the project can feasibly be done with social distancing m wsures as detailed above. o Encourages deferral of non-essential work I. Responsibilities of Managers and Supervisors All m aiagers and supervisors mist be fam liar with this Plan and be ready to answer questions from em floyees. Managers and supervisors m tst set a good exam fie by following this Plan at all times. This involves practicing good personal hygiene and jobsite safety practices to prevent the spread of the virus. Managers and supervisors m at encourage this sam ebehavior from all em floyees. II. Responsibilities of Em ployees The Com zany is asking every one of our em floyees to help with our prevention efforts while at work. In order to m him ke the spread of COVID-19 at our jobsites, everyone m at play their part. As set forth below, the Com zany has instituted various housekeeping, social distancing, and other best practices at our jobsites. All em zloyees m tst follow these. In addition, employees are expected to report to their m a lagers or supervisors if they are experiencing signs or sym ztom sof COVID-19, as described below. If you have a specific question about this Plan or COVID-19, please ask your m auger or supervisor. If they cannot answer the question,please contact Jeff Britt OSHA and the CDC have provided the following control and preventative guidance for all workers, regardless of exposure risk: ❑ 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 70% alcohol. ❑ Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or m cuth with unwashed hands. ❑ Follow appropriate respiratory etiquette, which includes covering for coughs and sneezes. ❑ Avoid close contact with people who are sick. In addition, em zioyees m ut fam iiarize them selves with the sym atom sof COVID-19, which include the following: ❑ Coughing; ❑ Fever (a tem z rature of 100.4°F or m ore); 2 ❑ Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing;and ❑ Early sym Atom ssuch as chills, body aches, sore throat, headache, diarrhea, nausea/vom Ling, and runny nose. If you develop a fever or sym prom sof respiratory illness, such as cough or shortness of breath, DO NOT GO TO WORK and call your supervisor and healthcare provider right away. Likewise, if you corn einto close contact with som Bone showing these sym Atom S call your supervisor and healthcare provider right away. III. Job Site Protective Measures Sum m ay of work plan is as follows: Work will be lim Jed to critical activities and reduced workers for each critical activity. M anagem eit team has outlined work areas for each work task that creates distance between workers. Corn m unication is key so all workers understand where they can work. Safety and wellbeing of the workers and corn m unity is param cunt. The num ter of people in each work crew will be reduced to the m him u rmum ter of people possible to perform the task safely, even if the reduction of crew size m cans the job takes longer. Below is a description of each phase of construction and the num ter of workers that will be permitted. Phase of Construction N urn ber of Workers Cabinetry install 1 Painting 3 G lass railing install 2 M sc carpentry/ labor 3 Tile at 1 bath 1 • A Daily Site Log will be m antained. The tem(late is attached as Appendix A • The following daily report will be m ale to Pitkin County Public Health to better understand the effect construction is having on our corn m laity - Daily Report • A Cleaning Log will be m antained. It identifies when each area of the job site (port-a- johns, door handles, m ahinery cabs,job trailers, etc.) have been cleaned. The tern jlate is attached as Appendix B. • The workforce will be educated regarding seriousness of the current health situation and how to prevent spread of viruses through the following m dhods: 3 Jobsite posting of CDC posting releases. Every worker m£t sign that they read inform lion package provided by Koru (in english and spanish) • The workforce on site will be educated regarding social and hygiene practices through the following m dhods: Jobsite posting of CDC posting releases. Every worker m wt sign that the read inform lion package provided by Koru (in english and spanish) The Corn zany has instituted the following protective m ensures: A. General Safety Policies and Rules • Any em zioyee/contractor/visitor showing sym Itom sof COVID-19 will be asked to leave the jobsite and return horn e • Safety m ertings will be by telephone, if possible. If safety m ertings are conducted in-person, attendance will be collected verbally and the forem al/superintendent will sign-in each attendee. Attendance will not be tracked through passed-around sign-in sheets or m(bile devices. During any in- person safety m ertings, avoid gathering in groups of m cre than 5 people and participants m tst rem an at least six (6) feet apart. • Where work trailers are used, only necessary em zioyees should enter the trailers and all em zioyees will m antain social distancing while inside the trailers. • Access to enclosed spaces will be restricted to essential personnel only. Enclosed spaces (e.g., toilets, break areas) are viewed as potential transmission areas and treated accordingly. Tim espent in these areas should be reduced as m tch as possible. • Em zloyees m 1st avoid physical contact with others and shall direct others (co- workers/contractors/visitors) to increase personal space to at least six (6) feet, where possible. Construction team sshould m dce every effort to lim t activities that cannot be perform el within 6 feet of distance between workers. However, som ecore construction activities m ay require som eproxim ty to corn iiete (e.g., concrete pours, utility potholing, work in cranes, drainage pipe construction, am mg others). In these cases, construction crews m ut em ploy other aggressive m eisures to lim t contact. Exam ties include the use of supplem eatal Personal Protection Equipm eat (PPE) like face shields or respirators, m him king the num her of people on a team,and retaining consistency within work teams to lim t contact with parties external to that team . • In-person m(clings should be avoided. Office m ertings and consultations should take place virtually, with participants working from horn eor their work truck, whenever possible. If an in-person m erting is absolutely necessary, that m ut be lim ted to fewer than five people, and participants m Lst m antain 6 foot distance 4 at all times during the m artings. All surfaces should be wiped down before and after the m acting, and hand washing should also occur before and after the m acting • Em lioyees will be encouraged to stagger breaks and lunches, if practicable, to reduce the size of any group at any one tim eto less than five (5)people. Workers shall NOT travel to local restaurants, grocery stores, etc. for breaks.

When cleaning tools and equipm mt, consult m alufacturing recom m ndations for proper cleaning techniques and restrictions. • Em lioyees are encouraged to lim I the need for N95 respirator use, by using engineering and work practice controls to m him ize dust. Such controls include the use of water delivery and dust collection system as well as lim ling exposure tim e • The Com zany will divide crews/staff into two (2) groups where possible so that projects can continue working effectively in the event that one of the divided team sis required to quarantine. • As part of the division of crews/staff, the Corn piny will divide em lloyees into dedicated shifts, at which point em ployees will rem an with their dedicated shifts for the rem rider of the project. If there is a legitim ae reason for an em xioyee to change shifts, the Com piny will have sole discretion in m dcing that alteration. • Em lioyees are prohibited from ride-sharing and car pooling unless em lioyees using car pool are from the sam ehousehold. • Each em lioyee should use/drive the sam etruck or piece of equipm aft every shift. 5 • In lieu of using a corn m a source of drinking water, such as a cooler, ern floyees will use individual water bottles. B. W akers entering Occupied Building and Homes • Construction and m antenance activities within occupied horn ES, office buildings, and other establishm arts, present unique hazards with regards to COVID-19 exposures. Everyone working within such establishm sits should evaluate the specific hazards when determ hing best practices related to COVID-19. • During this work, em iloyees mist sanitize the work areas upon arrival, throughout the workday, and im m diately before departure.

Nevertheless, employees m tst wear N95 respirators if required by the work and if available. • Due to the current shortage of N95 respirators, the following Work Practice Controls should be followed: o Keep dust down by using engineering and work practice controls, specifically through the use of water delivery and dust collection system s o Lim 1 exposure tim eto the extent practicable. o Isolate workers in dusty operations by using a containm alt structure or distance to lim t dust exposure to those em ployees who are conducting the tasks, thereby protecting nonessential workers and bystanders. • Institute a rigorous housekeeping program to reduce dust levels on the jobsite. 7 Additional Jobsite Protective Measures Include: Corn m unication is key to everyones safety. Koru will require that all workers understand and sign a full CO\AD19 Safety Plan prior to their work at the site. IV. Job Site Cleaning and Disinfecting The Com pony has instituted regular housekeeping practices, which include cleaning and disinfecting frequently used tools and equipm ant, and other elem ants of the work environm ant, where possible. Em floyees should regularly do the sam ein their assigned work areas. Cleaning: refers to the rem wal of germs dirt, and im parities from surfaces. Cleaning does not kill germs but by rem wing them,it lowers their num hers and the risk of spreading infection. Cleaning is perform al using soap, detergents, cleansers and clean water before using a disinfecting m dhod. Follow cleaning activities with an approved disinfectant. Disinfection refers to using chem bals to kill germ son surfaces. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or rem we germs but by killing germ son a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection. Disinfecting is perform el using approved corn m ecial or household disinfecting solutions. • Jobsite trailers and break/lunchroom areas will be cleaned m iitiple tim es per day. Em xioyees perform fig cleaning will be issued proper personal protective equipm Ent ("PPE"), such as nitrile, latex, or vinyl gloves and gowns, as recom m tided by the CDC. • Any trash collected from the jobsite m uit be changed frequently by som(one wearing nitrile, latex, or vinyl gloves. • Any portable jobsite toilets should be cleaned by the leasing 8 corn piny at least twice per week and disinfected on the inside.
