NE Ohio Business Safety Precautions:
-
Wear a Mask – This means always! If you are in the vicinity of others not in your home you should be wearing a mask at all times.
-
Keep Numbers Limited – Occupancy limits have changed in order to be sure everyone can be a safe distance apart, business owners are tasked with exploring the new occupancy limits specific to their office or establishment and following them.
-
Enforce SAFE – Six Away From Everyone. You have seen the tape on the floor and countless signs reminding you to stay six feet from others. Business owners have the new responsibility to create workspaces that will adhere to this rule.
-
Working Remotely – Whenever possible, working from home has been utilized as the new norm. With Zoom and all other video conferencing platforms, it is now easier than ever to stay connected.
-
Hand Sanitizer / Thermometers Readily Available – You would be hard-pressed to find a business nowadays that does not have hand sanitizer available as soon as you enter. For the safety of employees and guests, using hand sanitizer is imperative. Thermometers are necessary for employees to take their temperature before beginning work on a given day; while not foolproof this step can help prevent the whole staff from transmitting COVID if it is caught early.
-
Closely follow CDC Guidelines – COVID 19 is new, so no one really has all the information, and there is more being learned daily. Business Owners are staying in the know with all the updates and changes in guidelines and procedures to make sure they are doing everything possible to slow the spread.
-
Cleaning/Sanitation Schedule – Businesses are stocked up on approved cleaning products and maintaining a schedule for sanitation to help control the spread. There is data pertaining to how long the virus can stay alive on different surfaces, so keeping all surfaces clean and sanitized is necessary.
