Further Streamlining of Covid-19 Requirements for The Construction Sector

The Ministry of Health has announced further easing of Safe Management Measures. From 29 March 2022, the key changes for all construction worksites and supply work premises include:

Mask-wearing will be optional in open-air areas as defined under COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020. Nevertheless, mask-wearing is still strongly encouraged. In consultation with MOM, examples of open-air areas on construction worksites may include:
- The area under a cantilever roof with no sides.
- The area under an awning, or a retractable canopy, with no sides.
- Buildings or rooms with only walls constructed, without roof or shelters.

Mask-wearing will continue to be required for non-open-air areas. Examples of non-open-air areas at worksites include:
- Areas at worksites which are fully enclosed (e.g. basement, tunnels)
- Areas at worksites which are enclosed on all sides, including the roof (e.g. superstructure with walls and roof)

Safe distancing of 1 metre between each group of up to 10 persons is still required in all mask-off settings.

BCA has removed all sectoral COVID-19 rules for the Construction Sector since 15th March 2022. All COVID-19 workplace requirements for the Construction Sector are set out in the Workplace Safety and Health (COVID-19 Safe Workplace) Regulations 2021.

We seek your cooperation to comply with the Workplace Safety and Health Regulations and Community COVID-19 Regulations in continuing to keep our worksites safe.

进一步简化建筑业的冠病19防疫规定

卫生部已宣布进一步放宽安全管理措施。从2022年3月29日起，建筑工地和建筑材料供应场地的防疫规定将作出以下调整：

根据2020年冠病19（临时措施）（管制令）规定，人们在户外场所可以选择不戴口罩。然而，当局仍然大力鼓励人们戴口罩。建设局与人力部讨论后决定，不必戴口罩的户外区域包括以下例子:
- 四周无墙的悬臂式屋顶下的区域
- 遮阳篷或可伸缩雨篷下的无墙区域
- 只有墙壁但是没有屋顶或遮盖的建筑或房间

在非户外场所则依旧规定戴口罩。工地上的非户外区域包括：
- 工地上完全封闭的区域（如地下室、隧道）
- 工地上四面封闭的区域，包括屋顶（例如四周有墙和屋顶的上层建筑结构）

在可选择不戴口罩的环境中，每组不得超过10人，小组之间仍需保持1米安全距离。

自2022年3月15日起，建设局已经撤销所有专为建筑业制定的防疫规定。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。

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和社区防疫规定，继续保障工作场所的安全。
