Critical Industry

With State and City Governments looking for ways to contain COVID-19, they are starting to implement "stay in place" or "stay at home" ordinances. We fully support our governments' efforts to minimize the risks and to help slow down the spread of this virus.

At the same time, they recognize the essential need to keep construction companies operating to support industry and key areas of our communities.

Multi-Craft Contractors, Inc. (and other construction related companies) have been designated as "essential" and are allowed to continue working. Click on the link for the letter to be used in cases where you might be asked to confirm that you are essential. We've been told that this shouldn't be an issue, but we wanted you to have this, just in case.

Cloth Face Covering (Face Mask) Policy

Employees are required to wear a face mask where required by state/local ordinances or as required by the site policies.

It is recommended that unvaccinated employees wear a face mask when they are unable to maintain a 6-foot distance from others.

Face coverings will not be required when:

  • Eating or drinking
  • Performing job duties where a mask is inhibitory to safely perform the job. If this is the case, please work with your divisional leadership team or the Safety department.
  • You have a medical condition that wearing a mask would have an adverse effect. Please reach out to HR if this exemption would apply.

We recognize that there may be some additional concerns about masks presenting an unacceptable hazard. Please work with your divisional leadership and/or the Safety Department to find an acceptable solution.
