Note: If the construction re-opening goes poorly, it will delay the re-opening of future tiers of
business and may actually move regulations back to where they were before. Compliance with
this plan is crucial, and infractions are punishable by law enforcement.
Hansen Construction. Inc. (hereinafter"Company")takes the health and safety of our
employees very seriously. In order to be safe and maintain operations,we have developed
this COVID-19 Site Safety Plan to comply 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 most 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 Whether the project is under construction already and thus requires active
traffic management(in the case of a transportation project) or other work zone
safety measures that benefit from ongoing activity;
o Whether deferral of a start date on a project would undermine public safety or
continuity of operations for critical infrastructure;
o Whether the project can feasibly be done with social distancing measures as
detailed above.
o Encourages deferral of non-essential work
I. Responsibilities of Managers and Supervisors
All managers and supervisors must be familiar with this Plan and be ready to answer
questions from employees. Managers and supervisors must set a good example 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 must encourage this
same behavior from all employees.
II. Responsibilities of Employees
The Company is asking every one of our employees to help with our prevention efforts while
at work. In order to minimize the spread of COVID-19 at our jobsites, everyone must play
their part. As set forth below,the Company has instituted various housekeeping, social
distancing, and other best practices at our jobsites. All employees must follow these. In
addition, employees are expected to report to their managers or supervisors if they are
experiencing signs or symptoms of COVID-19, as described below. If you have a specific
question about this Plan or COVID-19,please ask your manager or supervisor. If they
cannot answer the question,please contact Scott Slogan. Superintendent
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 mouth with unwashed hands.
❑ Follow appropriate respiratory etiquette,which includes covering for coughs and
sneezes.
❑ Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
In addition, employees must familiarize themselves with the symptoms of COVID-19,which
include the following:
- Coughing;
- Fever(a temperature of 100.4°F or more);
2
Shortness of breath,difficulty breathing;and
Early symptoms such as chills,body aches, sore throat,
headache, diarrhea,nausea/vomiting,and runny nose.
If you develop a fever or symptoms of 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 come into close contact with someone
showing these symptoms, call your supervisor and healthcare provider right away.
III. Job Site Protective Measures
Summary of Work Plan:
HCI feels this project is a good candidate to restart construction for the following
reasons.
1. The project is remotely located in the Double Bar X subdivision. Given the
remote location there is minimal if any contact between our project site and the
rest of the community.
2. The current phase of construction we are completing, coupled with the
available space to work, allows us to complete critical tasks while maintaining
social distancing and a safe working environment.
3. The site and structure allow for segregation between different work areas
which will allow HCI to segregate crews.
4. We take this virus extremely serious and have our employees and
subcontractor's health and safety as our primary concern.
Work Plan:
1. Below is a diagram indicating different work zones (1-5) to be utilized to
separate crews. Please note that access to Work Zones 1&2 will be accessed
from a separate entrance and parking area as Work Zones 3-5. These separate
Zones will have separate port-o-lets as well as depicted in the site plan below.

3. Phase 1: Framing (10) Carpenters. This work will commence first, in
4
preparation for an upper level steel. This phase of framing will take place in
Work Zones 1&2. Once this stage is complete, the framing crew will reduce
its crew to 5 people and shift remaining manpower to work zone 2 to focus on
walls and the roof in that location.
4. Phase 2: Structural Steel: (5) Steel Erectors including a crane operator
required. Following the completion of the aforementioned framing, the steel
erectors will mobilize the site and set the remaining steel in Work Space 1.
Once complete this crew will demobilize completely.
5. Phase 3: Framing and MEP: (2-3) Sheet metal installers, (2-3) plumbers, and
(4-6) framing carpenters. Following demobilization of the steel crew
additional framers and rough in crews will remobilize to the site. All framing
will take place in Work Zones 1 & 2. All mechanical, plumbing, and electrical
work will take place in Work Zones 3-5. Each trade while on site will be
isolated in separate work zones.
6. Phase 4: Concrete Work: (4-6) Formsetters, (2-3) sheet metal installers, and
(2-3) plumbers. When the roof is complete at the upper level the framing crew
will demobilize temporarily to make space onsite for the concrete crew to
complete exterior site walls. During the concrete work, rough-ins will
continue in Work Zones 3-5. Work on the site walls is outside of Work Zones
1-5.
7. Phase 5: Backfill, Framing, and MEP Rough-in: : (2-3) Sheet metal installers,
(2-3) plumbers, (2) Earthworkers and (4) framing carpenters. Following
completion of the site wall, the concrete crews will de-mobilize. The
excavators will mobilize to backfill the site wall, framers will continue work in
Workspaces 1&2, and the Plumbers and Sheet Metal Installers will continue
rough-ins in Work Zones 3-5.
The number of people in each work crew will be reduced to the minimum number of
people possible to perform the task safely, even if the reduction of crew size means the
job takes longer. Below is a description of each phase of construction and the number of
workers that will be permitted.
Phase of Construction Number of Workers
Phase 1: Structural Framing 10 Workers+ 1 Safety Officer and 1 Cleaner
Phase 2: Structural Steel 6 Workers+ 1 Safety Officer and 1 Cleaner
Phase 3: Framing and MEP Rough In 6-12 People+ 1 Safety Officer and 1 Cleaner
Phase 4: Concrete and MEP Rough In 6-12 People+ 1 Safety Officer and 1 Cleaner
Phase 5: Backfill, Framing, MEP Rough In 6-12 People+ 1 Safety Officer and 1 Cleaner

• A Daily Site Log will be maintained. The template is attached as Appendix A
• The following daily report will be made to Pitkin County Public Health to
better understand the effect construction is having on our community-Daily
Report
• A Cleaning Log will be maintained. It identifies when each area of the job site
(port-a- johns, door handles, machinery cabs,job trailers, etc.) have been cleaned.
The template 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 methods:
a. Communication and Education: HCI will be posting posters in both English and Spanish
around the site educating the workers on good hygiene and the prevention of the
disease. HCI will additionally distribute brochures to each company that will be working
on site to distribute to their employees prior to returning to work. In addition, COVID-19
informational toolbox talks to be held weekly,via phone or as described below,with
subcontractors. Workers will be provided with current information on the pandemic,
seriousness of the situation, resources to keep healthy, resource information for seeking
medical help, and resources for proper social and hygiene practices. Attendance will be
recorded and mandatory for any workers on site.
• The workforce on site will be educated regarding social and hygiene practices through
the following methods: See the paragraph above titled "Communication and
Education"
The Company has instituted the following protective measures:
A. General Safety Policies and Rules
• Any employee/contractor/visitor showing symptoms of COVID-19 will be
asked to leave the jobsite and return home.
• Safety meetings will be by telephone, if possible. If safety meetings are
conducted in-person, attendance will be collected verbally and the
foreman/superintendent will sign-in each attendee. Attendance will not be
tracked through passed-around sign-in sheets or mobile devices. During any in-
person safety meetings, avoid gathering in groups of more than 5 people and
participants must remain at least six(6) feet apart.
6
• Where work trailers are used, only necessary employees should enter the trailers
and all employees will maintain 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. Time spent in these areas should be reduced as
much as possible.
• Employees must 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 teams should make every effort to limit activities
that cannot be performed within 6 feet of distance between workers. However,
some core construction activities may require some proximity to complete (e.g.,
concrete pours,utility potholing,work in cranes, drainage pipe construction,
among others). In these cases, construction crews must employ other aggressive
measures to limit contact. Examples include the use of supplemental Personal
Protection Equipment(PPE) like face shields or respirators,minimizing the
number of people on a team, and retaining consistency within work teams to
limit contact with parties external to that team.
o In-person meetings should be avoided. Office meetings and consultations should take
place virtually,with participants working from home or their work truck, whenever
possible. If an in-person meeting is absolutely necessary,that must be limited to
fewer than five people, and participants must maintain 6 foot distance at all times
during the meetings. All surfaces should be wiped down before and after the meeting,
and hand washing should also occur before and after the meeting
• Employees will be encouraged to stagger breaks and lunches, if practicable,to
reduce the size of any group at any one time to less than five (5)people. Workers
shall NOT travel to local restaurants, grocery stores, etc. for breaks. All food must
be brought from home. Community provided food and lunch areas and community
coffee pots,water dispensers,microwaves WILL BE ELIMINATED from break
and other common areas.
• Hand washing stations will be made readily available to make it easy for employees
to wash their hands multiple times a day. Hand sanitizer with at least 70% alcohol
will also be provided for employees to use if soap and water are not available and
hands are not visibly dirty. However, if hands are visibly dirty, always wash hands
with soap and water. The Company will ensure that stations stay stocked at all times
and provide additional hand sanitizer when needed
• Employees should limit the use of co-workers' tools and equipment. To the extent
tools must be shared,the Company will provide alcohol-based wipes to clean tools
before and after use. When cleaning tools and equipment, consult manufacturing
7
recommendations for proper cleaning techniques and restrictions.
• Employees are encouraged to limit the need for N95 respirator use,by using
engineering and work practice controls to minimize dust. Such controls include the
use of water delivery and dust collection systems, as well as limiting exposure time.
• The Company 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 teams
is required to quarantine.
• As part of the division of crews/staff,the Company will divide employees into
dedicated shifts, at which point employees will remain with their dedicated shifts for
the reminder of the project. If there is a legitimate reason for an employee to change
shifts,the Company will have sole discretion in making that alteration.
• Employees are prohibited from ride-sharing and car pooling unless employees
using car pool are from the same household.
• Each employee should use/drive the same truck or piece of equipment every
shift.
• In lieu of using a common source of drinking water, such as a cooler, employees
will use individual water bottles.
B. Workers entering Occupied Building and Homes
• Construction and maintenance activities within occupied homes,office buildings,
and other establishments,present unique hazards with regards to COVID-19
exposures. Everyone working within such establishments should evaluate the
specific hazards when determining best practices related to COVID-19.
• During this work, employees must sanitize the work areas upon arrival,
throughout the workday, and immediately before departure. The Company will
provide alcohol-based wipes for this purpose.
• Employees should ask other occupants to keep a personal distance of six(6) feet
at a minimum. Workers should wash or sanitize hands immediately before
starting and after completing the work.
C. Job Site Visitors
• The number of visitors to the job site, including the trailer or office, will be
limited to only those necessary for the work.
8
• Visitors outside the typical work crew should avoid interaction with the team
wherever possible. For example, if an inspector or materials delivery needs to
enter the site, they should alert the work team(e.g.by honking the horn of their
vehicle twice or through another established communication means) so that the
work team can vacate the site while the external parties are present.
• Site deliveries will be permitted but should be properly coordinated in line with
the employer's minimal contact and cleaning protocols. Delivery personnel
should remain in their vehicles if at all possible.
• All visitors will be screened in advance of arriving on the job site. If the visitor
answers "yes"to any of the following questions, he/she should not be permitted to
access the jobsite:
o Have you been confirmed positive for COVID-19?
o Are you currently experiencing, or recently experienced, any acute respiratory
illness symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath?
o Have you been in close contact with any persons who has been confirmed
positive for COVID-19?
o Have you been in close contact with any persons who have traveled and are
also exhibiting acute respiratory illness symptoms?
D. Personal Protective Equipment and Work Practice Controls
• In addition to regular PPE for workers engaged in various tasks (fall protection,
hard hats,hearing protection), the Company will also provide:
o Gloves: Gloves should be worn at all times while on-site. The type of glove
worn should be appropriate to the task. If gloves are not typically required for
the task,then any type of glove is acceptable, including latex gloves.
Employees will not share gloves.
o Eye protection: Eye protection should be worn at all times while on-site.
o Face masks: Cloth face masks must be worn all times while on-site. Cloth
masks will follow CDC guidelines.
o NOTE: The CDC is currently not recommending that healthy people wear
N95 respirators to prevent the spread of COVID-19.Nevertheless, employees
must wear N95 respirators if required by the work and if available.
• Due to the current shortage of N95 respirators,the following Work
9
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 systems.
o Limit exposure time to the extent practicable.
o Isolate workers in dusty operations by using a containment structure or
distance to limit dust exposure to those employees who are conducting
the tasks,thereby protecting nonessential workers and bystanders.
• Institute a rigorous housekeeping program to reduce dust levels on the jobsite.
10
[Additional Jobsite Protective Measures Include: ]. In addition to the measures
described above, HCI will be maintaining their own log to track employees temperatures
during check in. This information will be shared company wide to inform the company as a
whole as to individuals with symptoms and temperatures.
IV. Job Site Cleaning and Disinfecting
The Company has instituted regular housekeeping practices,which include cleaning and
disinfecting frequently used tools and equipment, and other elements of the work
environment,where possible. Employees should regularly do the same in their assigned
work areas.
Cleaning: refers to the removal of germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces. Cleaning
does not kill germs,but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of
spreading infection. Cleaning is performed using soap, detergents,cleansers and clean
water before using a disinfecting method.
Follow cleaning activities with an approved disinfectant. Disinfection refers to using
chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. This process does not necessarily clean dirty
surfaces or remove germs,but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can
further lower the risk of spreading infection. Disinfecting is performed using approved
commercial or household disinfecting solutions.
• Jobsite trailers and break/lunchroom areas will be cleaned multiple times
per day. Employees performing cleaning will be issued proper personal
protective equipment("PPE"), such as nitrile, latex, or vinyl gloves and
gowns, as recommended by the CDC.
• Any trash collected from the jobsite must be changed frequently
by someone wearing nitrile,latex, or vinyl gloves.
11
• Any portable jobsite toilets should be cleaned by the leasing
company at least twice per week and disinfected on the inside. The
company will provide alcohol wipes in the job site toilets so that
employees can disinfect after each use.
• The Company will ensure that hand sanitizer dispensers are always
filled.
• Frequently touched items (i.e. door pulls,toilet seats, instrument
panels, steering wheels, devices such as cell phones)will be
disinfected frequently throughout the day.
• Vehicles and equipment/tools will be cleaned at multiple times per
day and before change in operator or rider.
• The Company will clean those areas of the jobsite that a confirmed-
positive individual may have contacted and it will do so before
employees can access that work space again.
• The Company will ensure that any disinfection shall be
conducted using one of the following:
o Common EPA-registered household disinfectant;
o Alcohol solution with at least 70% alcohol;or
o Diluted household bleach solutions (if appropriate for the surface).
• The Company will maintain Safety Data Sheets of all disinfectants used on site.
[Additional Cleaning and Disinfection Guidelines Include: ].
1. It is worth noting that HCI has secured all necessary cleaning supplies, handwashing
stations, PPE,No touch forehead thermometers, our company log is already up and
running for projects we have on the front range. We are ready to start as soon as we
are given the go ahead.
12
. Jobsite Exposure Situations
• Employee Exhibits COVID-19 Symptoms or has been Diagnosed Positive for
COVID- 19
• the employee must remain at home until he or she is symptom free for 72
hours (3 full days)without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-
altering medicines(e.g., cough suppressants).
AND
• other symptoms have improved(for example,when cough or shortness of
breath have improved)
AND
• At least 7 days have passed since symptoms first appeared
To the extent practical, employees are required to obtain a doctor's note clearing
them to return to work.
Employee should report their symptoms via the COVID-19 Symptom Tracker
• COVID-19 Symptoms Tracker- http://shorturl.at/acmz6
• Informe de Sintomas COVID-19- http://shorturl.at/ENPTY
• Employee Has Close Contact with an Individual Who Has Tested Positive
for COVID-19
Employees who have come into close contact with an individual who has tested positive
for COVID-19 (co-worker or otherwise)will be directed to self-quarantine for 14 days
from the last date of close contact with that individual. Close contact is defined as six(6)
feet for a prolonged period of time.
If the Company learns that an employee has tested positive,the Company will conduct an
investigation to determine co-workers who may have had close contact with the
confirmed-positive employee in the prior 14 days. The Company will direct those
individuals who have had close contact with the confirmed-positive employee to self-
quarantine for 14 days from the last date of close contact with that employee. If
applicable,the Company will also notify any sub-contractors,vendors/suppliers or
visitors who may have had close contact with the confirmed-positive employee. If an
employee learns that he or she has come into close contact with a confirmed-positive
individual outside of the workplace,he/she must alert a manager or supervisor of the
close contact and self-quarantine for 14 days from the last date of close contact with that
13
individual.
VI. Protocol for Jobsite Monitoring and Exposure to COVID-19
Employees will monitor their health at the beginning of each work day and will check
their temperature at the job site at the start of the work day (although some COVID-19
cases do not experience a fever)
If a single jobsite person becomes ill or is suspected to have COVID-19 appropriate
protocols shall be followed as outlined below:
• Notify Public Health officials and appropriate building department.
• All personnel on the jobsite to be notified of contact either direct or incidental with
affected person.
• All personnel affected to be quarantined for 14 days and report symptoms through
their supervisors to jobsite personnel.
• The Company will clean those areas of the jobsite that a confirmed-positive
individual may have come into contact with before employees can access that
work space again.
Work can resume when cleared by Pitkin County Health and the Local Chief Building
Official
[Additional Job Site Protocols Include: ].
