Streamlining of Covid-19 Requirements for The Construction Sector

With effect from 15 March 2022, BCA will be removing all sectoral COVID-19 rules for the Construction Sector. With this, all COVID-19 workplace requirements for the Construction Sector will be set out in the Workplace Safety and Health (COVID-19 Safe Workplace) Regulations 2021 (hereon, “WSH Regulations”).

The key changes from 15 March 2022 onwards are highlighted below:

Construction worksites and supply works premises will be subject to the same SMM requirements that apply to any other workplace regulated under the WSH Regulations, with no additional sectoral requirements imposed.

Main contractors and subcontractors performing work at construction worksites and supply works premises should take reasonably practicable steps to comply with the WSH Regulations.

Construction companies will no longer need to apply to BCA for approval of resumption and/or commencement of works and deployment of personnel to construction worksites and supply works premises (i.e. Restart Applications).
We strongly encourage all occupiers of premises and employers to continue to apply pre-existing SMMs as part of a good practice to contain COVID-19 transmission at worksites.
We seek your cooperation to comply with the WSH Regulations and community COVID-19 Regulations in continuing to keep our worksites safe.

简化建筑业冠病19防疫规定

从2022年3月15日起，建设局将撤销所有专为建筑业制定的防疫规定。接下来，建筑业只需遵守2021年《工作场所安全与卫生（冠病19安全工作场所）条例》所列出的所有冠病19防疫规定。

下列改变将从2022年3月15日起生效：

建筑工地和建筑材料供应场地将跟其他工作场所一样，遵守同一套工作场所安全与卫生条例，不再需要遵守专为建筑业制定的额外规定。

建筑工地和建筑材料供应场地的主要承包商和分包商应采取合理又实际的步骤，以严格遵守工作场所安全与卫生条例。

建筑业者将不再需要向建设局申请开始或恢复工程项目/，以及部署人员到建筑工地和建筑材料供应场地的批准（Restart Application）。

不过我们大力鼓励所有场地用户和雇主继续采用现有的安全管理措施，作为防止冠病病毒在工作场所传播的良好作业方式。

我们希望您能继续给予配合，遵守工作场所安全与卫生条例，以及社区内所实行的防疫措施，以保障工作场所的安全。
