BCA announces measures for construction restart

Singapore

THE Building and Construction Authority (BCA) on Wednesday said it is implementing further measures to accelerate the resumption of construction work, as almost all foreign dormitories have been declared cleared of Covid-19 by the Inter-Agency Taskforce (ITF).

These include allowing all companies and their foreign construction workers to resume work outside construction sites and supply works premises without seeking approval from BCA; temporarily suspending the 10-accommodation criteria; and allowing workers to resume work while cohorting is being carried out in Foreign Employee Dormitories Act-licensed (FEDA-licensed) dormitories.
