Momentum Recycling: COVID-19 Business Continuity Plan
Updated: March 16th, 2020
Momentum Recycling is committed to continuing business operations during the COVID-19 epidemic. The steps below will help in this goal and are required as of March 16, 2020. The situation is still changing, and updates to this plan are likely. Revisions will be circulated as needed.
Minimizing the risk of a staffing shortage
1. Personal Hygiene – Momentum Recycling strongly encourages frequent hand washing and has disinfectant sprays and wipes available throughout company facilities, especially in areas where groups can congregate, like breakrooms. Employees are expected to follow these simple steps:
2. Truck Cleaning – each driver has been trained to thoroughly clean the interior of their truck at the end of each shift with disinfectant wipes or sprays.
3. Social Distancing – In accordance with CDC guidance, we are training all staff to keep 6 feet of distance between themselves and colleagues. If such action is unavoidable, staff is being trained to limit such instances to no more than 15 minutes.
4. Remote Work – All staff that do not need to be physically present in the office in order to perform their job have been instructed to work from home. A Work From Home policy has been created, effective March 16th, 2020, and all affected staff have begun working remotely.
Plan of action for employees that experience symptoms
1. An expanded Sick Leave Policy has been implemented, effective March 12th, 2020, providing unlimited sick leave for any employee experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. We know that quarantine actions are critical to minimizing business disruption, and for protecting other employees and the general public, and we do not want financial considerations to dissuade such employees from acknowledging their symptoms and seeking care.
2. Employees have been trained and encouraged to report symptoms immediately. For those that do so, we will implement the following steps:
i. Immediately connect the employee to a telemedicine professional. As per Health Department guidance, using a telemedicine provider will minimize risk to the public, and provide the employee with the fastest path forward.
ii. Momentum management will identify any people with whom the affected employee has been within 6 feet for longer than 15 minutes.
iii. Should the affected employee test negative for COVID-19, he or she will be allowed to return to work according to their doctor’s recommendations.
iv. Should the affected employee test positive for COVID-19, he or she will be allowed to return to work only after the employee has fully recovered, can demonstrate a negative test, and has been cleared by their doctor.
