VACUUMS Use vacuums with high-efficiency filters to trap fine particles that would otherwise escape through the vacuum’s exhaust for a cleaner jobsite with better air quality.
Scheduling Construction activities can be sequenced to minimize exposure and resulting adverse impacts for workers not directly involved in the construction activity.
Schedule construction activities that generate significant dust or emissions at different times or places. For example, schedule drywall finishing and carpet installation for different days or different sections of the building.
Whenever possible, install absorptive-finish materials after wet-applied materials have fully cured. For example, install carpet and ceiling tile after paints and stains are completely dry.
In currently occupied buildings, consider relocating occupants of the space before disruptive activities are conducted in those areas, to reduce their exposure to air and noise pollution. Consider communicating the construction activity schedule with workers and occupants (if the building is operational). This may minimize foot traffic and encourage avoidance of the area, as necessary and feasible.
Schedule high-intensity activities during cool hours of the day and plan for work/rest periods and other scheduling modifications in line with the extreme heat protections.
