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.

通过更改和添加额外的安全协议来改善安全文化始终存在重大挑战。COVID-19 的未知影响及其迅速传播的方式促使该行业制定了基本的安全协议。本文解决了两个问题陈述。第一个问题陈述是：过程安全、施工和维护以及个人防护设备要求的附加安全协议是什么？第二个问题陈述是：在施工过程中使用添加的 PPE 实施安全协议和过程安全对工业建设项目的成本和进度影响是什么？

在遵守附加安全协议的同时，工业建筑行业不能忘记它以高事故率和不理想的安全性能而著称。2017年，建筑业死亡人数为971人。与 2017 年墨西哥湾沿岸各州的 1123 人总死亡人数相比，这一数字令人震惊。目的是分享社会疏远的基本原理和做法，需要额外的 PPE 和个人卫生习惯，以减少工业建筑环境中大流行期间的传播和爆发。在进行任何施工工作之前，过程安全团队必须清理、隔离和标记要维修或更换的过程管线、设备和仪器。

本文旨在改进安全流程、成本和进度影响，并在 COVID-19 等大流行病期间规定工业建筑中的额外个人防护设备。COVID-19 大流行在很短的时间内在全球蔓延。减轻传播的反应具有启发性，几乎没有关于安全防护设备和实践的数据。本文的贡献是如何在工业建筑环境中的大流行期间采用有效的安全实践和政策。
