Compliance with this plan is crucial, and infractions are punishable by law enforcement. Madigan and CO (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 RECEIVED 06/30/2020 ASPEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT APPROVED CRY OF ABFE11 ENGIIIEER IIN= 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 Chris Madigan,Owner 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 60%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); RECEIVED 2 06/30/2020 ASPEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT APPROVED CRY OF ABFE11 ENGIIIEER IIN= • 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 is as follows: Remodel of existing building including structural elements. Implement and adhere to the recommended OSHA and CDC guidelines for dealing with COVID-19 in a work environment. 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 I Number of Workers Demolition 5 per level Framing 5 per level MEP rough in 5 per level Drywall/Paint 5 per level Finish 5 per level • 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: �► RECEIVED 3 06/30/2020 ASPEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT APPROVED CRY OF ABFE11 ENGIIIEER IIN= Weekly meetings on latest information on the topic • The workforce on site will be educated regarding social and hygiene practices though the following methods: Initial meeting with each subcontractor to walk them through site protocols The Company has instituted the following protective measures: • 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. • 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. • 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 miWC �limited to fewer than five people, and participants must maintain 6 foot dis 4 06/30/2020 ASPEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT APPROVED CRY OF ABFE11 ENGIIIEER IIN= 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. 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 60% 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 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 discouraged from ride-sharing and car pooling unless employees using car pool are from the same household. If car pooling is utilized, it will meet the below requirements: o Hand sanitizer is used by each passenger when entering the vehicle. o The number of passengers has been reduced by 50% of the vehicle's occupancy, and passengers sit in locations to maximize the distance between one another. RECEIVED 5 06/30/2020 ASPEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT APPROVED CRY OF ABFE11 ENGIIIEER IIN= o Passengers will wear a non-medical, cloth face-covering when in a vehicle containing more than 1 person. o All high-contact surfaces of the vehicle, such as steering wheel, seatbelts, door handles, and console, shall be properly disinfected in between uses by different employees and at the end of each day. • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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.

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: All site workers, visitors, etc. must always have a cloth face mask in their possession. Cloth face masks must be only worn while within 6 feet of another person. 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. o 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 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. �► RECEIVED 06/30/2020 ASPEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT APPROVED CRY OF ABFE11 ENGIIIEER IIN= o Institute a rigorous housekeeping program to reduce dust levels on the jobsite. Additional Jobsite Protective Measures Include: Additional workplace cleaning via mandatory subcontractor participation and laborer efforts 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. o 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. o Any trash collected from the jobsite must be changed frequently by someone wearing nitrile, latex, or vinyl gloves. �► RECEIVED 8 06/30/2020 ASPEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT APPROVED _OFa3FE11EH611__ o Any portable jobsite toilets should be cleaned by the leasing company at least twice per week and disinfected on the inside.
