[Alstow]

What is everyone planing for the potential of the virus?

 

We are no longer going to do long distance tows, considering no passengers.

From OSHA's recommendations:

 

Where, how, and to what sources of SARS-CoV-2 might workers be exposed, including:{The general public, customers, and coworkers; and{Sick individuals or those at particularly high risk of infection (e.g., international travelers who have visited locations with widespread sustained (ongoing) COVID-19 transmission, healthcare workers who have had unprotected exposures to people known to have, or suspected of having, COVID-19)

 

Promote frequent and thorough hand washing, including by providing workers, customers, and worksite visitors with a place to wash their hands. If soap and running water are not immediately available, provide alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60% alcohol.

 

These are going to be difficult for the majority of towing companies in the industry:

 

Encourage workers to stay home if they are sick.

 

Encourage respiratory etiquette, including covering coughs and sneezes.

 

Provide customers and the public with tissues and trash receptacles.

 

Discourage workers from using other workers’ phones, desks, offices, or other work tools and equipment, when possible.

 

I would encourage all tow companies to up their game in regards to this recommendation.

 

Maintain regular housekeeping practices, including routine cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces, equipment, and other elements of the work environment. When choosing cleaning chemicals, employers should consult information on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved disinfectant labels with claims against emerging viral pathogens. Products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims are expectedto be effective against SARS-CoV-2 based on data for harder to kill viruses. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use of all cleaning and disinfection products (e.g., concentration, application method and contact time, PPE).
