The coronavirus pandemic has brought illness, death and economic hardship to every corner of the globe. Minimizing the spread of the virus is a top priority. This can be particularly challenging for construction workers, most of whom cannot telework and often find themselves working in close proximity to each other, in a work environment that changes continuously.

This tool provides information applicable to any construction site and should be further informed by national legislation and guidelines.
