Corona Virus Update…continued from page 10
• Make sure your staff are using precautions and
wearing proper PPE to protect themselves. Right
now face masks are challenging to get in some
places. Be proactive to ensure you have the
PPE you need. Reminder: it is the employer's
responsibility to provide necessary PPE at no cost
to employees.
• Update your Exposure Control Plan if you have not
already done so this year. Information about this is
on the OSHA website.
• Consult with your suppliers to learn where you might have any
supply chain vulnerabilities. Right now the market is reacting to
fears that supply chain disruptions will affect sales and production.
Where are yours? What will happen if your favorite products and
equipment are not available for a while due to troubles importing
or domestic production slowdowns due to worker illnesses? Make
a plan, but don't panic.
• Update your business continuity plan for how you will operate if
key staff are too ill to work. You deal with people calling out
all the time, but what if it is in larger numbers than you've ever
experienced? Have those discussions and make your plan
proactively so you don't have to figure it out on the fly.
The PSAI will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and keep
