Guedes advocates that the safe return to activities be segmented. “It will not be everyone at the same time. It will be by geographical units. In regions with higher population density, the risk of contagion is greater. So all of this will be examined, based on reports. When health allows, and signals that it is time to advance, we will advance,” says the minister.

Ana Cláudia Gomes, president of the social responsibility commission of the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry (CBIC), reveals why the safety protocols of the construction sector have become a model for the federal government.

“Industry entities in the construction sector and companies are going beyond the protective and sanitary measures established. They also care about the worker on the way back home and with their family contacts,” she reveals.

It is worth mentioning that well before the pandemic hit Brazil, workplace safety was law within the construction sector. The presence of workers on site is only permitted with the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Therefore, items such as masks, gloves, safety goggles, and helmets are not new for those working on construction sites. This allows workers in the sector to stay ahead regarding protection against COVID-19.
