COVID-19 Update

COVID-19

OPEN FOR BUSINESS WITH PROTECTIVE MEASURES 

The World Health Organization has characterized coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. We are making changes in how we conduct business to promote safe practices for our families, team members, suppliers and clients.
 
We are implementing the following procedures to reduce possible risks associated with close contact.
​

• Staff are working remotely from their place of residence to reduce the potential for spread of COVID-19.
• Staff are encouraged to follow social distance measures by maintaining 6 ft (2 meters) between individuals.
• Staff are encouraged to frequently wash their hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Staff are encouraged to frequently clean surfaces such as phones, keyboards, mouse, doorknobs, desk surfaces, etc.
• Meetings are to be facilitated via teleconference or videoconference where possible.
• Staff are encouraged to confirm reasonable safety measures are active for any in-person meeting prior to attending.
• Staff are encouraged to wear Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) when attending site reviews or otherwise interacting with others. This may include a non-medical mask or respirator, coveralls, protective gloves, and other equipment as required.
• All staff are to self-isolate at home if they feel unwell or live in the same residence with someone who feels unwell. If a staff member is unsure, they are to consult the Ontario COVID-19 Self-Assessment (https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/) 
• All staff who travel outside of the country for any reason will be required to self-isolate for 14 days.

 
We understand that many of our colleagues are taking steps to manage this situation as best they can and we ask that you provide us updates on your activities if anything occurs that will impact how we interact.
 
As the situation is continuing to unfold, we may make adjustments to how we conduct business.
