IDI's Covid-19 Daily Job Site Safety Plan

International Decorators, Inc (IDI) is working hard to keep our employees safe and to prevent the spread of Coronavirus (COVID‐19) in our workplaces. We remain vigilant in keeping up with governmental agency and public health organization recommendations and requirements.  We want to provide as healthy an environment as possible for our employees, trade partners, suppliers, and clients.  IDI is providing guidance based on recommendations from the Centers of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), the Department of Health (DOH), and the U.S. State Department.

 

Safety Advocates/Lead Field Supervisors – Every morning or shift during your Task-Based Safety Awareness Huddle ask the following questions to your whole crew and advise them that they can talk to you in confidence after the huddle.

·      Do any of you have a fever, cough, shortness of breath or flu-like symptoms?

·      Has any individual tested positive for COVID‐19?

·      Has any individual had exposure/close contact to someone known to have tested positive for COVID-19?  (What is close contact? - You were within 6 feet of someone who has Covid-19 for a total of 15 minutes or more.  You provided care at home to someone who is sick with Covid-19.  You had direct physical contact with a person who has Covid-19, such as you hugged them or kissed them.  You shared eating or drinking utensils with someone who has Covid-19 or they sneezed, coughed or somehow got respiratory droplets on you.)  

·      Has any individual traveled outside of the United States or gone on a cruise ship in the past 14 days?

 

If the answer is yes to any of the above, have that affected employee leave the job site immediately and immediately notify our human resource manager, Katie Clark (224) 279-8478.  Provide Katie with the affected employee’s name, symptoms and job site location.  Katie will then notify our job site Superintendent and will provide direction back to the Superintendent. 

 

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES 

Cleaning/Disinfecting 

·      All employees should routinely clean/disinfect their frequently touched work surfaces, such as
workstations, desk/countertops, door knobs, tools and equipment. 

·      IDI has spray bottles of disinfectant.  You can request this through your Superintendent.

·      No communal food will be permitted on the project site until further notice.

 

Worksite Hygiene 

·      We have disposable latex gloves in stock.  You can request them from your Superintendent.

·      Avoid touching your face, especially with dirty hands.

·      Sneeze and cough into a tissue (which is immediately disposed of), or the crook of your
arm; avoid using your hands.

·      Employees should wash their hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, where facilities exist to do so.  If there are no hand wash facilities at your job site, you can request hand sanitizer through your Superintendent.  

·      Put physical distance between yourself and other people (6 ft whenever possible).  Social distancing is a key element in the prevention of Coronavirus and in spreading Coronavirus.

·      Wear a face covering when 6’ social distancing is not feasible or when required by the job site.

 

Discuss COVID‐19 Symptoms with employees (may appear within 2‐14 days after exposure): 

*   Fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches, recent loss of taste or smell.

Employees should call their doctor if they: 

1. Develop symptoms and have been in close contact with a person known to have COVID‐19.

2. Have recently traveled from an area with widespread or ongoing community spread of COVID‐19, such as out of the U.S. or went on a cruise ship. 

Have a Safe Day!
