COVID-19 As North Carolina and the nation continues to deal with the COVID 19 pandemic, we must all take necessary steps to ensure the health and safety of employees, coworkers, family, friends, associates and people that we come in contact with on a daily basis. At PWC we implemented measures including requiring our employees to conduct temperature and wellness checks, wear a face covering or mask, whenever possible, maintain proper social distancing (minimum or 6 feet) and take other actions such as washing their hands, using approved sanitizer and wiping down surfaces, especially commonly shared equipment or tools. This applies to employees working in our facilities, working in public or at field sites. For firms who are under contract with PWC or working under purchase orders, those firms are expected to comply with all OSHA/EPA guidelines, CDC recommendations including any applicable North Carolina Executive Orders regarding the performance of work under COVID 19 conditions. Examples of such guidance can be found at the following: OSHA COVID-19 Overview https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/covid-19/ OSHA COVID-19 – Control and Prevention / Construction Work https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/covid- 19/construction.html#:~:text=Keep%20in%2Dperson%20meetings%20(including,Fill%20hand%20sanitizer%20dis pensers%20regularly. https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA4000.pdf North Carolina COVID-19 Executive Orders https://www.nc.gov/covid-19/covid-19-executive-orders Center for Disease Control https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Implementing Safety Practices for Critical Infrastructure Workers https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/critical-workers/implementing-safety-practices.html Essential Staff- Do's & Dont's https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/Essential-Critical-Workers_Dos-and-Donts.pdf NC Licensing Board for General Contractors https://www.nclbgc.org/2020/07/02/board-buzz-summer/ NC Association of General Contractors https://www.cagc.org/CAGC/SafetyHR/CAGC/Safety/SafelyHomeInitiative.aspx?hkey=e3439388-0c36-4755- 91bd-4c8fc6d22a41 NC Department of Health and Human Services https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/ Cumberland County Health Department https://www.co.cumberland.nc.us/departments/public-health-group/public-health Department of Homeland Security https://www.ready.gov/pandemic

As an additional step to ensure the health and safety of contractor employees and PWC employees, should a contractor’s employee test positive for COVID 19 the contractor must immediately inform the PWC project manager/supervisor or their primary point of contact at PWC and the employee should be performing work at PWC facilities or field sites until medically cleared. This is necessary so PWC can inform our employees, conduct or own method of contact tracing for our employees and take any measures necessary such as quarantining PWC employees who may have been in contact with the individual who tested positive. These actions are necessary to ensure the health and safety of all and to ensure that contract performance can be achieved under the conditions of this pandemic. Contractor must provide a plan with their proposal that describes their plan for working under COVID-19 conditions. The plan should address the Contractors approach to protect their employees, PWC employees, along with any other Contractor's working on PWC's locations. This may include the Contractor's approach towards employee use of PPE, such as face masks, sanitizing commonly shared tools or equipment, practicing social distancing as work conditions permit, and working within close proximity of others. The plan may also address any other actions that the Contractor will be taking, such as conducting daily temperature checks, conducting symptom checks and trackers, and any other actions the Contractor deems appropriate to protect the health and safety of their employees, PWC employees, and any other Contractor's working on PWC's locations.
