Responding to Health & Safety Challenges from Novel Hazards: Coronavirus and Monday Key Takeaways 3:00pm - 4:45pm EDT
Responding to Health & Safety Challenges from Novel Hazards: Coronavirus
Overview
Under any business condition faced by the asphalt industry, safety is always a core value. Over the last few months, road construction companies have taken swift and unprecedented action to protect their employees from a novel hazard, COVID-19. Not unlike protecting employees from new chemical or physical hazards on the jobsite, ensuring employee protection from coronavirus has been an ongoing process, especially since government-specific requirements lag, differ, or rapidly change. Since the asphalt pavement industry encompasses a wide variety of job tasks and workplace constraints – including working outdoors, in small shops, trailers, or offices, and potentially interacting with internal and external personnel in close quarters – consistent, standardized protocols to prevent workplace transmission of coronavirus continue to be fine-tuned. Further, new information and government agency recommendations evolve.
Hear from NAPA Member company health and safety representatives about the actions their companies took to quickly ensure employee safety and well-being during the pandemic. The moderated roundtable will highlight approaches by companies of different sizes and geographic operations with a focus on road construction and asphalt plant activity-specific best practices, as well as state-specific requirements. While a one-size-fits-all approach is difficult to implement, each company will share often overlapping tactics to ensuring workforce safety during the pandemic.
