North East Shoring Is Here To Serve You During Phase 1 Of New England Reopening

At North East Shoring, we have been open to serve those essential employees who continue their work throughout New England amidst the global pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus. As essential to the essential workers, we have been closely monitoring the situation and following guidelines set forth by the governors of our states as well as directives form the Utility Contractors’ Association of New England (UCANE)’s executive director, Jeff Mahoney and the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

As more and more states begin to reopen their economies, OSHA has issued enforcement policies to ensure the health and safety of construction employees across the nation. While construction jobs that were considered essential continued during the initial crisis and lockdown of most businesses and municipalities, during the four-phase reopening plan, those projects that were initially paused because they were considered non-essential resumed work as of May 18.

The state of Massachusetts has issued specific COVID-19 guidance for construction sites and construction workers that include mandatory safety standards to reduce the risk of infection for employees, as well as residents in homes and buildings that are being remodeled.
