During the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, safety measures at the construction site need to be extended to the receiving of supplies and materials.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Bassili, Occupational Safety manager at the Social Service of the Civil Construction Industry (Seconci-SP), warns that the first step is to avoid direct contact with the delivery person \u2013 a minimum distance must be respected. \u201cBoth the delivery person and the person receiving the package must use protective equipment such as masks and gloves.\u201d Construction management must designate a specific location for deliveries to be made. Afterwards, the area needs to be sanitized.<\/p>\n
In some cases, there is a need to sign delivery receipts. The ideal approach is to use your own pen and clipboard rather than the delivery person's items, and to sanitize your hands before and after receiving the items. The next step is to sanitize the packaging with alcohol and discard it as quickly as possible. For these procedures to be followed, it is important to communicate them to all employees.<\/p>\n
