COVID-19 SAFE WORK COMMITMENT
We want our customers to be safe and comfortable knowing that we are going above and beyond government recommendations to protect you and ourselves from COVID-19. If anyone in your home or office have any illness, any symptoms, or have come in contact with anyone else who has, please notify us immediately so work can be rescheduled. We promise to do the same.
Suggested guidelines for homeowners for work in occupied homes:
Delineate a “contaminated zone” and a “clean zone” in your home.
Instruct all workers remain within the contaminated zone
Ensure that anyone working in or traveling through the contaminated zone are to wear face masks.
Ensure that anyone touching any common surfaces (door knobs, faucets, etc.) should wear disposable gloves and face masks. Maintain a regular schedule for sanitizing all high-touch surfaces in each zone.
Sanitize surfaces commonly touched at least every two hours.
Designate a separate restroom in contaminated zone for worker use.
Please consider the surfaces workers touch as contaminated during the project and for 24 hours after the last day of work.
Below are the MKC AV COVID-19 safety protocols:
PROTOCOL FOR PREFORMING ESSENTIAL WORK
Do not leave your property without all appropriate PPE, including an effective hand and surface disinfectant and appropriate disposable towels or cloths.
Wear a face covering and care for it as described in the following articles:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-facecover.html o
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diycloth-face-coverings.html
Face coverings and masks are not a substitute for proper distancing.
If using a washable cloth face covering, wash and dry it often.
Do not touch the front of the masks or face coverings during or after use.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands.
Maintain social distancing (6 ft or more), even when standing in a line.
Wear disposable gloves if the task includes touching public surfaces or packages. Sanitize your gloved hands before entering your car and home.
Avoid entering buildings; instead use outdoor kiosks, drive-thrus, and ATMs. Use proper PPE and procedures even when using outdoor facilities.
To the extent possible, avoid public restrooms.
Sanitize the designated restroom (separate for our use) before and after each use.
Sanitize packaging if the task includes transporting supplies. Sanitize packaging at the point of receipt and before taking it indoors. If possible, remove plastic wrapping before bringing the package indoors to reduce the amount of sanitizing needed.
If transporting collected items inside of a passenger vehicle, consider using a tote, box, or another method to keep possibly contaminated items from coming into contact with passenger surfaces. • Be conscious of items that have been touched by others and treat them as “contaminated” until they are properly disinfected.
When returning home, sanitize your car, dispose of gloves and masks, set apart clothing for separate laundering and shower thoroughly before interacting with your family.
Do not use the essential task as an excuse to perform non-essential activities while away from your shelter location.
PROTOCOL FOR REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF GLOVES
Carefully remove both gloves without touching the outside of the gloves, turning them inside out.
Do not touch the outside of either glove and throw them away directly into a garbage bag.
After discarding the gloves sanitize your hands again.
ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL FOR FUELING YOUR VEHICLE
Use discernment when choosing the location. If the area is safe, it may be beneficial to avoid heavily occupied gas stations.
Wear all appropriate PPE including disposable gloves and a face covering.
If possible, conduct all of your business at the gas pump, do not enter the store.
Maintain 6 ft distancing.
If the fuel must be purchased inside with cash, try to pay the attendant the exact amount so there is no need to receive change.
If a credit card must be handed to the attendant, be sure to sanitize it after the attendant hands it back.
After refueling and placing the gas nozzle into its cradle, use the disinfectant to sanitize your gloved hands.
