“Construction projects can resume in Newton

Construction and renovation projects that had been put on hold across Newton are can now resume, as long as you follow new guidelines.

The rules are not surprising: physical distancing, hand hygiene, employee health protections and site risk prevention measures as detailed in state construction guidelines. Workers must wear face coverings indoors or outdoors whenever workers are unable to maintain a distance of less than 6 feet apart.

Before commencing work, contractors or owners must sign and send to Newton’s Inspectional Services Department this form stating that they acknowledge they understand and will follow Newton’s COVID-19 Safety Guidelines for Construction Sites.  Newton’s inspectors will do unannounced visits to job sites as well as routine inspections to ensure compliance.”
