On June 8, 2020, construction officially re-opened throughout New York for all essential and non-essential construction projects and as a result, the construction industry is at the forefront of New York’s economic recovery. It is not “business-as-usual” however, as project owners are required to navigate the federal, state and local public health and safety “COVID-19 regulations,” which include guidelines issued from New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH), New York City Department of Buildings, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Environmental Protection Agency, and U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and cause contractors to develop a “COVID-19 Jobsite Protocol” prior to entering the jobsite.
