Gregory Begg, Co-chair of Peckar & Abramson’s Labor Relations and Employment Law Practice, recently answered Construction Dive readers’ coronavirus legal questions as part of the publication’s “April Mailbag” feature. Questions include: (1) How does a contractor safely know if his or her projects are essential? (2) Are there penalties on essential government projects if a contractor is not adhering to OSHA and CDC protocols? and (3) Is there any federal guidance as to what a contractor should do to address the risk of contracting coronavirus or if a worker contracts coronavirus and claims it was from the jobsite?
