Safe Work


At Showtime Home Design we value our workers, trades and clients and in these unprecedented times of Covid-19 we will endeavor to keep all safe to the best of our ability.  In the spirit of this we are following the guidance of Alberta Occupational Health and Safety in coordination with our company safety officer.

“PPE is necessary when physical distancing of 2 meters or physical barriers cannot be maintained by administrative and engineering controls.”  PPE controls the hazard at the worker and client level.  Examples of PPE include gloves, eye protection, body suits, face protections, face masks.

SAFE WORK PRACTICE

COVID-19 SITE PPE PROTOCOLS

WORKING ON A DWELLING INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: AIRONIZER (as needed)

SAFETY EQUIPMENT/PPE AS REQUIRED: Steel toed boots, hard hat, safety glasses, face shield and respiratory protection

When self-distancing of minimum 2 metres can be maintained (interior and exterior):

  • Workers shall wear gloves and face shields and conform to standard PPE protocols.

When self-distancing of minimum 2 meters cannot be maintained, or others have the potential to enter the workplace the following shall occur:

  • Workers shall wear full body protective suit, booties, gloves, and a face shield
  • 2 sets of all required PPE will be issued to each worker for alternate use every 24 hours.
  • The workers shall sanitize their hands prior to donning or removing any body suit and related PPE to avoid cross-contamination.
  • In the event that a worker is using an N-95 mask, a face shield will be available on standby and donned as required.
  • Clean the hands regularly with an alcohol-based sanitizer or wash them with soap and water.  The CDC also makes this recommendation, advising that sanitizer should contain “at least 60% alcohol” and that people should wash their hands for at least 20 seconds.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Cough or sneeze into your elbow or use a tissue, then dispose of the tissue immediately and clean your hands.

If you feel unwell, stay home and call your doctor or a local health professional.

If you develop shortness of breath, call your doctor and seek care immediately.
