Reducing surface transmission of handling hard copies and papers through use of electronic devices
Description:
On construction sites, many meetings and information sessions share information in paper handouts and also use written signatures as evidence of attendance such as worker safety trainings. During COVID-19, this presents an issue of having workers touch the same objects (pen and paper). To eliminate spread by contact with papers, contractors may use alternative methods.
