Keeping a COVIDSafe Site [Reminder]

Implementation & Maintenance Guide

Hutchies has developed the following practical guide to assist our sites to implement and maintain our COVIDSafe requirements. Communicating these important preventative measures will help to keep everyone safe, prevent the spread of coronavirus and keep construction sites open:

Get your COVIDSafe resources
Implement Plan & Checklist
Keep stock of supplies
Stay on top of the measures

Step 1 / Get your COVIDSafe resources

We’ve refreshed our suite of resources with the latest information and advice. These must continue to be regularly maintained across all Hutchies’ sites.

All jobs must ensure they have downloaded, read and implemented:

Hutchies' Keeping People Safe Plan (download)
COVIDSafe Checklist for Sites (download)
COVIDSafe Declaration Signage for site entries (order)
Visitor / Delivery Sign In Register for Sites (download)
Hutchies' suite of COVID-19 posters displayed (download)
Slides for site induction PowerPoint on COVID-19 (download)

Step 2 / Implement Plan & Checklist

Now that you have all of the above resources, follow the below steps:

Assign a COVIDSafe Site Champion for your project who will implement and maintain Hutchies' weekly checklist
Implement social distancing measures that space people out around your site (eg in crib rooms and hoist waiting areas)
Audit current cleaning practices around site - is it being undertaken regularly, to the required standard and recorded?
Hold meetings (like Prestarts) outdoors if possible and ensure COVID is a daily topic to remind everyone of their obligations
Ensure our COVIDSafe Declaration is shown at all site entries and visitors / delivery drivers sign into our register
Insert our COVIDSafe overview into your Induction PowerPoint so everyone understands the requirements across the project
Display stickers in bathrooms / kitchens / lunch rooms to remind people to wash their hands and use sanitiser in between
Display our posters in high frequency / busy areas as a reminder of all of Hutchies' measures to prevent the spread

Examples of implementation

Does your site have awesome COVIDSafe measures?

We’re looking for sites to promote in these weekly updates who have implemented our COVIDSafe requirements and project-specific measures to share with other teams.

Step 3 / Keep stock of supplies

Hutchies has a stockpile of supplies for our jobs and offices. These can be ordered directly from Hutchies’ Toolbox Shop (and don’t need to be job costed).

Keep your site well stocked with:

COVID-19 signage and posters
Stickers with COVID-19 reminder messages
Hand sanitiser and dispensers
Cleaning products
Face masks

Step 4 / Stay on top of the measures

Completing Hutchies’ weekly COVIDSafe Checklist will help your job stay on top of these important measures.

Displaying and regularly communicating Hutchies’ requirements ensures everyone on a Hutchies site understands their personal responsibilities to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
