COVID-19 Response
COVID – 19 POLICY
As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to unfold, A & C has taken a proactive approach to its civic responsibilities and the continuity of its business and the business of its customers. We are taking the spread of this virus seriously and we urge you to do the same.
We are closely monitoring COVID-19:
As part of our standard preparedness protocol, we have been closely monitoring and assessing the impact of COVID-19 and urging our employees to follow recommendations from the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization for protecting themselves and others from this virus.
Our plan:
Just as we do with other emergency and contingency plans, we will implement well-established procedures for ensuring continuity of service. We’re taking actions to protect our employees, customers and all with whom we come in contact. Out of an abundance of caution and our commitment to protecting the health and safety of our employees and our customers, we are asking our employees to:
- Wash hands frequently and thoroughly before eating, after using the restroom, sneezing, coughing, or blowing of the nose.
- If handwashing is impossible, a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol is to be used.
- The face must be covered with their elbow or a tissue when coughing or sneezing. If a tissue is used, it must be thrown away prompty and immediately sanitize their hands thereafter.
- Avoid close contact with sick people. If someone is suspected to have respiratory infection, it’s safest to stay 2 yards away.
- Regularly disinfect commonly touched surfaces and items in the home and workplace, such as doorknobs and counter tops.
- All employees will be required to report all travel plans.
- All employees that complete international travel will be required to be tested for COVID-19 and will not be allowed to work until such time as a negative test result is presented and 14 days have passed since the completion of travel.
- All employees who experience cold or flu symptoms should immediately seek medical assistance and testing for COVID 19 as soon as possible.
- Social distancing is the practice of staying at least six feet away from persons unknown to you or known to be infected. Where possible, this should be practiced at all times.
- Employees are welcome to wear sanitary gloves where available, employees are also encouraged to wear face masks.
We take this opportunity to wish you and your family best wishes for your health and safety and express our greatest appreciation for your trust in us. We intend to keep earning it. Please remain safe.
