Face masks, sanitizing materials, and handwashing facilities are made readily available to employees. Employees have been trained on how to prevent the spread of the virus. Operational protocols are also being implemented, such as limiting the sharing of vehicles and meals, and social distancing. We continue to follow guidance from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control. 

If you are unvaccinated and cannot maintain the 6-foot social distancing guidelines, you WILL BE required to wear a mask.  If you are vaccinated AND you voluntarily send a copy of your vaccination card to Amanda Lott in HR, you WILL NOT be required to wear a mask.  This policy is consistent with current CDC guidance and should be followed at all Irby work locations unless more stringent customer guidelines apply.  

Irby is tracking employees presenting with symptoms consistent with the Coronavirus. We are also tracking the results of anyone on our team who has been tested for the virus. In turn, we are reporting this information to contractors and partners who have been in contact with our team, so they can monitor their own health moving forward. Face masks, sanitizing materials and handwashing facilities are made readily available to employees. Employees are being trained actively on how to prevent the spread of the virus. 

As an electrical utility contactor working to construct, maintain, or repair the electrical infrastructure, Irby is considered Essential Businesses and Operations according to the definitions outlined in the orders issued thus far. As such, Irby projects currently underway will continue as planned.

If an order is issued to stay at home, our corporate office staff will transition to working at home as they have done on and off since the pandemic began.

Irby Construction Company is a “First Responder” contractor, meaning we will continue work on our construction and maintenance projects as we have been only with a heightened emphasis on training and monitoring of our employees to ensure no one is sick; with plans in place if any employee has a suspected or confirmed case of Covid-19.Those plans are:

• In the event of a suspected or confirmed case of Covid-19 among Irby employees, we would notify Quanta Services Corporate Safety and/or Risk Management, and they would activate their Crisis Management Team that includes members of Irby.
• In the event of a suspected or confirmed case of Covid-19 among Irby employees, we would immediately notify any client they may have had contact with at a job site, in an office or any other setting. We would also notify Quanta Services Corporate Safety and/or Risk Management, and they would activate their Crisis Management Team.
• In the event of a suspected or confirmed case of Covid-19 among Irby contractors and/or service providers, we would immediately notify any client they may have had contact with at a job site, in an office or any other setting. We would also notify Quanta Services Corporate Safety and/or Risk Management, and they would activate their Crisis Management Team.

Our team returned to working at headquarters over the summer of 2020. The office is following guidelines outlined in the Return to Work Playbook, and continues to follow social distancing guidelines and mask-wearing when social distancing is not an option.
