Stay up to date!
The National Association of Minority Contractors Dallas - Fort Worth Chapter is closely monitoring the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As the situation continues to change, our top priority remains the health, safety, and well-being of our community.
As construction or related industries are being considered as an essential business and can operate, we encourage workplaces to follow OSHA Guidance and educate your employees to keep our community safe.

The NAMC DFW Chapter, Inc. has set protocols in place provided by OSHA which include:
• Conducting monthly meetings and commitments with precaution by advising that people wear face masks
• Implemented social distancing 
• Having our workers get tested when they've been exposed to someone with COVID 19 and wearing a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days after exposure or until a negative test result.​
• Not requiring people to wear a mask in outdoor areas of conveyances
​
•​Practice good personal hygiene and wash your hands often. Always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, or the inside of your elbow, when you cough or sneeze
• Perform routine cleaning and disinfection  
• OSHA advises that everyone should get the COVID vaccine to minimize the spread 
During our upcoming event, The 2021 Golden Shovel Awards,  the protocols will be accommodated to the Hurst convention center. 
The Hurst Conference Center has practices in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19:​
  • Availability of hand sanitizer throughout the building
  • Enhanced air quality throughout the building
  • Food Service Staff will be supplied with gloves and masks
  • Floor plans that maximize space capacity and meet the state recommend guidelines of  “Social Distancing” will be provided
  • Any staff with fever or flu symptoms will be asked not to work
  • Effective cleaning protocols of all public areas

This information has been developed by an OSHA Compliance Assistance Specialist and is intended to assist employers, workers, and others as they strive to improve workplace health and safety.  While we attempt to thoroughly address specific topics [or hazards], it is not possible to include discussion of everything necessary to ensure a healthy and safe working environment in a presentation of this nature.  Thus, this information must be understood as a tool for addressing workplace hazards, rather than an exhaustive statement of an employer’s legal obligations, which are defined by statute, regulations, and standards.  Likewise, to the extent that this information references practices or procedures that may enhance health or safety, but which are not required by a statute, regulation, or standard, it cannot, and does not, create additional legal obligations.  Finally, over time, OSHA may modify rules and interpretations in light of new technology, information, or circumstances; to keep apprised of such developments, or to review information on a wide range of occupational safety and health topics, you can visit OSHA’s website at www.osha.gov.

In order to ensure we maintain good communications and distribute OSHA related information as it becomes available, the Fort Worth and Dallas Area Offices will distribute the attached to our local Alliance partners as appropriate or as new information becomes available
