20th of July 2020 

 

Coronavirus is a rapidly evolving situation that is impacting on us all and OTTO Construction Group has been working to evolve with it, to protect the health, well-being and safety of our people, our clients, our subcontractors and the wider community.

​

OTTO’s office and sites remain open to ensure that we can continue to deliver our projects. However, we have changed the way that we work, by:

• Having our office based workforce predominantly working remotely, to limit workplace density

• Implementing staggering shifts and lunch times on sites, to ensure that social distancing measures are met

• Implementing a touch free site sign in process, where workers scan a QR code with their personal mobile phones to sign in and out of sites

• Utilisation of video meetings

• All work and amenities areas on site and in the office being clearly marked out to ensure social distancing rules are followed.

 

 OTTO has also implemented the following Healthy and Safety management procedures to reduce the risk of Coronavirus on our sites and in our offices:

• Clear COVID-19 signage on all sites and office's outlining hygiene and social distancing requirements

• Ongoing communication with all employees and trades regarding maintaining social distancing, hygiene standards and that they are to remain home should they present with any COVID-19 symptoms.

• Reinforcing that it is everyone’s responsibility and duty of care to report any possible close contact with a person with COVID-19, including in the office or on site.

• Increasing our office and site daily cleaning programs 

• Providing hand sanitizer and masks in the office and on all sites.

 

OTTO is committed to our clients, our subcontractors and supporting the building & construction industry during these unprecedented times. And we will continually follow the advice from the government and the building industry, as we are committed to protecting the health and safety of our teams and the community.
