Construction Health Requirements per Jurisdiction

All jurisdictions have similar protocol, which include following Cal/OSHA requirements. They have limitations on the number of people that can be on-site. Construction workers must wear protective workwear including masks, face shields, and disposable gloves unless working alone. They must maintain social distancing with 6 feet of space between people. Contractors need to fill out and submit a safety plan or application, which is different for every jurisdiction, and it must be posted on-site. Please follow your specific jurisdiction requirements with the links provided. Protective gear is available for purchase below, and please reach out if you have any questions regarding the health requirements. We can be reached at info@sfcodes.com, thank you!
