Your Challenges in Health Crisis Management
The main challenges related to the COVID-19 coordinator role are:
- Coordinate the implementation and enforcement of measures on your construction site by the COVID-19 coordinators from each company, as well as by your Safety Coordinator (Coordonnateur Sécurité).
- Hold regular meetings with the COVID-19 coordinators to report any issues to the project owner (MOA) and project manager (MOE) and resolve problems quickly.
- Conduct on-site inspections and controls.
However, the COVID-19 coordinator cannot stop working without informing the project owner.
