Trench safety is no accident. Accidents can and do occur in trenches/excavations as a result of inadequate hazard assessment, improperly sloped walls or incorrect shoring materials. click Trench Safety
Given the significance of this ongoing threat, we recommend that each work shift begin with a short tailgate meeting on the measures to protect our construction workers.
Construction employers must take all necessary precautions to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission and illness to themselves, workers, and others at the jobsite. click ECA Safety Memo
The City of Santa Rosa has temporarily limited its operations to provide essential inspection services ONLY to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in our community. This means the City of Santa Rosa has reduced staffing during the pandemic and is focused on providing inspection services that support the most restrictive construction activities that are presented under both the State and County health orders. For more information on actions the City has taken to slow the spread of coronavirus in the community, visit srcity.org/PreventTheSpread. As of April 7, 2020, the following inspection services are available under Sonoma County Order No. C19-03 (Order): link
On April 1, 2020 the County extended the Shelter In Place Order No. C19-03 to May 3, 2020. The extension also brought with it additional restrictions associated with construction activities. We’ve received a significant number of requests from the construction and private development communities regarding the activities that are allowed under the County’s amended health order. The construction specific activities that have received an exemption from the Shelter In Place requirement and are currently allowed to commence are highlighted in Section 13 (F)(F) of the Order. I’ve included a list of the specific activities below:
Not long after the execution of the amended order, the County produced a resource document that provides a summary of the changes that were made. The summary document and the amended order are available at the SoCo Emergency website.

The City is currently providing any inspection services needed to support the construction activities allowed under the extension of Order No. C19-03. We recently published a resource document (COVID Inspection Guidelines 4.7.20 – Final_) specific to the delivery of inspection services. The document also explains the process a contractor can go through to have a project reviewed in order to determine eligibility for future inspections. Construction projects that are not exempted from the order are still permitted to perform certain actives needed to shut down the construction site in a fashion that leaves it in a safe and secure state. The vast majority of our current inquiries are associated with this provision. Our guidance document describes how a contractor can obtain formal approval regarding the specific inspections that will be provided under this scenario.
