Vancouver Protocol

Safe Start Washington Phase 2

All construction is permitted, but facial coverings continue to be required on all job sites, with higher protection required for “medium and high risk” tasks. In addition, a “Jobsite Hazard Analysis” needs to be completed and documented.

You can review the short list of changes to answer most questions, however you should understand the full Phase 2 requirements and become familiar with the required documentation.
