In Brazil, even with all the measures taken due to the covid-19 pandemic, the construction industry continues to operate without major difficulties, which raises concerns from entities regarding the safety of workers.

According to labor auditor Luiz Alfredo Scienza, the measures taken as precautions during activities do not guarantee worker safety: “The construction site is not a safe environment. Construction gathers most workers in certain activities; they are close together. How can we ensure that this worker’s integrity is maintained given how this virus spreads?”

In defense of the activities, São Paulo Governor João Doria placed the construction industry in the same category as security and health services and stated that it is an essential activity and that the lack of contact with the public allows for the continuation of activities.

On the other hand, Tiago Cavalcanti, labor prosecutor, disagrees: “There is no minimally reasonable basis for industries, which includes the construction industry, to be considered essential activities.”

As a result, in Rio de Janeiro, some entities of architects and engineers are calling for an immediate halt to activities, justifying that there are no safe conditions for workers to continue: “If retail has stopped, why shouldn’t a construction site stop? If remote work isn’t possible, the work must be halted. This is the case for construction in general; the only option is to stop.”
