COVID-19 Action Plan

i2 Construction takes the health and safety of our employees very seriously. With the spread of the coronavirus or “COVID-19,” a respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the Company must remain vigilant in mitigating the outbreak. The Company is a proud part of the construction industry, which many have deemed “essential” during this Declared National Emergency.

In order to be safe and maintain operations, we have developed this COVID-19 Exposure Prevention, Preparedness, and Response Plan to be implemented, to the extent feasible and appropriate, throughout the Company and at all of our jobsites. i2 Construction has also identified a team of employees to monitor the related guidance that the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and AGC of America continue to make available.

OSHA, CDC and AGC have provided the following control and preventative guidance for all workers, regardless of exposure risk:

Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. When soap and running water are unavailable, use an alcohol-based hand rub with at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
Follow appropriate respiratory etiquette, which includes covering for coughs and sneezes.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Construction and maintenance activities within occupied office buildings and other establishments, present unique hazards with regards to COVID-19 exposures. Everyone working within such establishments should evaluate the specific hazards when determining best practices related to COVID-19.

During this work, employees must sanitize the work areas upon arrival, throughout the workday, and immediately before departure. i2 Construction will provide alcohol-based wipes for this purpose.
Employees should ask other occupants to keep a personal distance of six (6) feet at a minimum.
Workers should wash or sanitize hands immediately before starting and after completing the work.
Employees will be encouraged to stagger breaks and lunches, if practicable, to reduce the size of any group at any one time to less than ten (10) people.
In lieu of using a common source of drinking water, such as a cooler, employees should use individual water bottles.

ACTIONS i2 CONSTRUCTION ARE TAKING

Jobsite/Office Procedures

Supervisors ask the following questions to all employees prior to entering the jobsite. If they answer “yes” to any, they are asked to leave the jobsite immediately. Anyone asked to leave should not return to work until 24-hours after they are free from a fever or signs of a fever without the use of fever-reducing medication.

Have you, or anyone in your family, been in contact with a person that has tested positive for COVID-19?
Have you, have you been in close contact with a person that is in the process of being tested for COVID-19?
Have you traveled internationally, been on a cruise, or been to any domestic location categorized as Level 3/high risk by the CDC in the last 14 days?
Have you been medically directed to self-quarantine due to possible exposure to COVID-19?
Are you having trouble breathing or have you had flu-like symptoms within the past 48 hours, including: fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, body aches, chills, or fatigue?

All employees, including trade partner employees, are required to wear facemasks 100% of the time while onsite or in the office.

i2 Construction’s office is closed to visitors.

Deep cleaning and disinfecting is scheduled throughout the office and jobsites

Social Distancing

To prevent transmission of the virus through the air through saliva or mucus, the CDC recommends maintaining a distance of 6 feet from another person. By maintaining a proper “social distance” of 6 feet from others, we will prevent the transfer of the virus when someone coughs, sneezes or speaks.

Temperature checks on our sites must utilize:

Full face shield (office-provided to project teams upon request)
Infrared touchless digital thermometer (office-provided to project teams upon request)
Disposable gloves; preferably Nitrile (office-provided to project teams upon request)
Soap/hand sanitizer

*All personnel with a temperature over 100.4° must be logged and sent to HR daily

HVAC System Implementation

By retrofitting the mechanical systems within existing office buildings with a Global Plasma Solutions (GPS) we can bring a sense of comfort about the air employees breathe as they return to work. The unique feature of GPS is that it not only provides fly by kill at the air handler, but the ionization makes its way down into the occupied space and kills viruses, bacteria, and mold in the occupied space. The ionization field also causes dust particles to agglomerate into larger particles and it dramatically improves filter efficiency (MERV 8 acts like MERV 13). GPS also breaks down VOCs in the space and eliminates odors.

Specifically, Global Plasma Solutions (GPS) is a tubeless product that reduces or eliminates particulates, pathogens, converts VOCs, replaces UV lights to clean coils and allows for reduced ventilation air. GPS’ technology works to safely clean the air inside commercial and residential buildings, using an electronic charge to create a plasma field filled with a high concentration of + and – ions. As these ions travel with the air stream they attach to particles, pathogens and gases. The ions kill pathogens by robbing them of life-sustaining hydrogen. The ions breakdown harmful VOCs and then travel within the air stream into the occupied spaces, cleaning the air everywhere the ions travel, even in spaces unseen.
