There are always significant challenges in improving the safety culture by changing and adding additional safety protocols. The unknown impacts of COVID-19 and how it quickly spreads led the industry to institute essential safety protocols. This paper addresses two problem statements. The first problem statement is: what are the additional safety protocols for process safety, construction & maintenance, and personal protective equipment requirements? The second problem statement is: what are the cost and schedule impacts of industrial construction projects resulting from implementing safety protocols and process safety during construction with the added PPE? While complying with added safety protocols, the industrial construction industry cannot forget that it has a distinct reputation for high incident rates and less than desirable safety performance. In 2017, the construction industry suffered 971 fatalities. This alarming number is compared to 1123 total fatalities in 2017 for the Gulf Coast States. The objective is to share the rationale and practices of social distancing, required additional PPE, and personal hygiene practices to reduce spreading and outbreaks during a pandemic within an industrial construction environment. Before any construction work, the process safety teams must clear, isolate, and tag out process lines, equipment, and instruments to be repaired or replaced. The information presented demonstrates the significant cost and schedule impacts that industrial construction companies will encounter during a pandemic like COVID-19. This paper aims to improve safety processes, cost & schedule impacts, and prescribe additional personal protective equipment in industrial construction during a pandemic such as COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic spread globally in a very short period. The reactions in mitigating the spread were suggestive, with little to no data on safety protective equipment and practices. The contribution this paper addresses are how to employ efficient safety practices and policies during a pandemic in an industrial construction environment.
通过改变和增加额外的安全协议来改善安全文化总是面临重大挑战。新冠疫情的未知影响及其快速传播促使该行业制定了必要的安全协议。本文探讨两个问题陈述。第一个问题陈述是：过程安全、施工与维护以及个人防护装备要求方面的额外安全协议有哪些？第二个问题陈述是：在施工期间实施安全协议和过程安全并增加个人防护装备，对工业建设项目的成本和进度有何影响？在遵守新增安全协议的同时，工业建设行业不能忘记其在高事故率和不尽如人意的安全表现方面有着独特的名声。2017年，建筑业有971人死亡。与墨西哥湾沿岸各州在2017年的1123例总死亡人数相比，这个数字令人震惊。目的是分享在工业建设环境中，在疫情期间保持社交距离、所需额外个人防护装备以及个人卫生习惯的基本原理和做法，以减少传播和疫情爆发。在进行任何施工工作之前，过程安全团队必须清理、隔离并标记出要维修或更换的工艺管道、设备和仪器。所呈现的信息表明，工业建设公司在像新冠疫情这样的大流行期间将面临重大的成本和进度影响。本文旨在改善安全流程、成本和进度影响，并规定在新冠疫情等大流行期间工业建设中额外的个人防护装备。新冠疫情在很短时间内全球蔓延。在减缓传播方面的反应具有启发性，但关于安全防护装备和做法的数据很少或几乎没有。本文探讨的贡献在于如何在工业建设环境中的大流行期间采用有效的安全做法和政策。
