[1]Updated March 18, 2020, 12:05 p.m.: At HGC Construction, safety is more than a priority, it is a fundamental value. [2] The health and wellness of our community, clients, and team members is always our top priority.
We are diligently monitoring updates surrounding COVID-19 to evaluate the situation on a daily basis. We are strictly adhering to recommended guidelines from federal, state, and local officials. We want to share what we are doing to keep everyone safe and the projects moving forward.
Out of the abundance of caution, the majority of our office personnel will be working remote.
We are taking the following precautions, based on recommendations from the CDC [3], and implementing them at the project level:
- Encouraging employees to stay home if they feel ill or are sick.
- Limiting the use of tool sharing between employees. If it is necessary, the tools must be sanitized between uses between people.
- Minimizing the use of common break/lunch areas.
- Limiting meetings to groups of 10 people or less while maintaining 6 feet of separation between people.
- Disinfecting restrooms and meeting areas each day while providing hand washing and sanitizing capabilities on each project.
- Making every effort to respect social distancing.
We will continue to monitor the situation and coordinate with City, State and community leaders. We will update you with any changes we have to make to ensure the continued health of everyone.
