While most of the country is under shelter-in-place orders, many of our clients work in essential industries that must continue to provide vital services to the community. Therefore, it is imperative that they have the tools they need to keep their employees safe.
For those who must continue to operate, we’ve complied resources employers can use to implement COVID-19-specific written safety programs, provide employee training, and signage that can be posted in the workplace. Many of these resources are available in both English and Spanish.
Our goal is to provide the tools our clients’ needs to protect their employees.
