COVID-19 ACTION PLAN UPDATE
An increasing number of cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) originating in China have been confirmed in Canada and the US. Provincial, Canadian and international bodies are actively monitoring the situation, communicating developments and providing guidance as new information becomes available.
Keep yourself and others safe
To reduce the risk of spreading infection around the work- place, currently Industrial Machine & Mfg. Inc. (IMM) has implemented the following:
• Wash hands and face regularly with soap and water
• Stay home if you are experiencing symptoms
• Consult your doctor (or 811) as soon as possible if you are concerned about your symptoms
• IMM encourages other forms of meetings with customers/vendors to include: TEAMS, Web-ex etc.
• Where possible, all staff must work from home
• All staff are to keep a minimum of 6ft between one another
• Staggered break times to minimize gatherings
• Extra cleaning/sanitizing of all work areas, including machine centres
• Anyone showing any symptoms, will not be allowed in workplace
• Visitor restrictions
Business travel restriction
As we are following all Government recommendations, we are banning all travel until further notice.
What you need to know
IMM takes its lead from national health authorities, who hold responsibility for nationwide co-ordination of pandemic response. The federal government would activate the national pandemic plan if necessary. Once this is activated, the corporate crisis management team could activate our internal response plan.
