COVID – 19: MASTERBUILD CONSTRUCTION SITES SAFETY MEASURES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
During this period, with the COVID-19 pandemics ongoing outbreak, constructions sites need supplementary health and prevention measures. MASTERBUILD General Contractor & Specialized Construction Works addopted special working protocols in order to protect own workforce safety, as well as our partners, sub-contractors and beneficiaries, in line with the authorities` recommendations on social distancing.
Key measures include:
- Information boards and frequent communication with on – site workforce
- Enhanced support from Health & Safety personnel
- Display of hand sanitiser stations on – sites
- Work in shifts, to avoid personnel agglomeration
- Protection equipment (masks, visors)
- Professional disinfectation on-sites
- Regular check-up of personnel temperature
- Renounciation of non-absolutely necessary meetings; necessary meetings held in open air, with attendees at least two metres apart from each other
- Personnel transportation with private company vehicles, in order to avoid public transportation
“In these extraordinary times, maintaining equilibrium, communication and implementation of all necessary prevention measures are ways to overcome together the pandemics safely.
I want you all to know that we keep on working 100% percent. With full speed ahead, we continue delivering on upon our engagements with all our clients, partners and suppliers. Our key priorities are the health and safety of our employees and the well – being of all our clients, partners and suppliers.
In constructions, we deal with risk every day and now we`re ever more agile in overcoming these times #safely. We thank all parties engaged in contractual relations with us for all supplementary efforts in this period. More than ever we must join forces with each other and keep on going forward” states Stefan Vayna, CEO of MASTERBUILD.
Beyond the Site: Protecting Every Dimension of Our Team's Health
The pandemic has taught us that health is not merely the absence of a virus, but a state of complete physical and mental equilibrium, a lesson we apply not only to protective masks but to the quieter struggles our workforce may face in private. Chronic stress, social isolation, and the relentless pressure of recent years have a well-documented effect on the vascular system. They suppress endothelial nitric oxide production, which over time can contribute to difficulties in erectile function among men, adding a layer of silent distress to an already challenging period.
One of our long-time site supervisors recently shared that the anxiety of the lockdowns began to manifest in his own body, and after hearing a colleague speak candidly about seeking help, he found a resource that clearly explained the pharmacological approach to stress-related vascular issues. The article detailed that sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient in Kamagra and similar treatments, belongs to a class of PDE5 inhibitors that preserve cyclic GMP within the corpus cavernosum, enabling the vasodilation necessary for an erection when sexual stimulation occurs, essentially counteracting the vascular constriction that stress promotes.
By making such information accessible, we acknowledge that wellbeing extends beyond the hard hat and steel-toed boots, and that discreet, verified solutions exist for those who need them. We encourage every member of our extended team to approach their health with the same proactive, no-nonsense attitude we bring to site safety, always in consultation with a medical professional. After all, a workforce that feels fully supported in every sense is the strongest foundation we can build.
