Considerations for Returning to Work in the Post-pandemic Environment

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, businesses in the construction industry must deal with a number of new liability considerations. A recent article from Construction Business Owner examines how construction business owners should deal with the new circumstances they face as they get back to work.

Author Jeffrey Kozek suggests adapting both operations and expectations as necessary and ensuring that any changes are communicated clearly. He offers four considerations regarding risk liability in the post-coronavirus pandemic world:

1. Document Thoroughly – Keep records of the progress of all your projects, being sure to note any delays and whether they can be attributed to the pandemic.
2. Review Any Contracts – Make sure that you are well versed in the details of all your contracts, particularly your protections (or lack thereof) regarding delays or other hitches.
3. Keep Abreast of Government Pandemic Policies – Pay close attention to any changes in federal, state, and/or local policies regarding the pandemic.
4. Protect Your Team – Adhere to policies that create a safe workplace for your team members.
