COVID-19: Please answer these questions and wait for approval before entering a construction site.

​

Westrade Construction has to ensure that their workplaces are safe for all workers. This questionnaire is designed to determine if you pose a health and safety risk.

​

Directives:

 

- If you answer yes to one (1) or more question, please advise your supervisor.

 

- People with fever, cough and/or difficulty breathing should seek advice from their medical practitioner.

​

Important Note:

 

You cannot be fired if you answer yes to any of these questions. However, you can be told to immediately leave the workplace and not to return until such time as there is no risk that you will infect the other workers.

​

Note that you cannot be targeted by your employer and asked certain questions due to your race, place of origin or ethnicity. Human-rights legislation recognizes the importance of balancing people’s rights to non-discrimination with public health and safety, including the need to address evidence-based risks associated with COVID-19. Questions that are founded upon reasonable health and safety concerns consistent with the recommendations of public-health authorities will be permissible. Questions that are founded upon misguided fears and stereotypes may be inappropriate and amount to discrimination.
