Social distancing: Social distancing is being implemented in the workplace through the following engineering
<br />and administrative controls:
<br />• Teleworking and remote computer access
<br />• Using remote meeting technology while at work vs. gathering in a conference room
<br />• Providing improved spacing of work stations by moving some of the first floor staff to the unused
<br />second floor space
<br />• Adjusting shifts
<br />o Flexible shifts
<br />o Split shifts
<br />o Staggered shifts
<br />o Combined on-site/remote work
<br />• Limiting employees to specific work spaces, teams, or vehicles when feasible
<br />• Discontinuing public room rentals until further notice
<br />• Directing Anoka County License Center customers to the license center entrance, eliminating time spent
<br />in common areas
<br />• Installing Plexiglas to customer counter areas to reducing exposure to respiratory droplets; to be
<br />completed prior to May 26, 2020
<br />We have instructed employees to maintain six feet of social distancing. Employees and visitors are prohibited
<br />from gathering in groups and confined areas, including elevators, and from using other employees' personal
<br />protective equipment, phones, computer equipment, desks, cubicles, workstations, offices or other personal
<br />work tools and equipment. Employees entering or exiting rooms and halls should stand back and maintain a six
<br />foot distance for anyone who is already in the room or attempting to exit/enter.
<br />Housekeeping: Regular housekeeping practices are being implemented, including routine cleaning and
<br />disinfecting of work surfaces, equipment, tools and machinery, and areas in the work environment, including
<br />restrooms, break rooms, lunch rooms and meeting rooms. Spray sanitizer and towels are also available in office
<br />areas, work rooms and throughout the facilities for general use. Hand sanitizer is also available for staff and
<br />public. Employees working from City vehicles are provided with sanitizing wipes in their vehicles to use as
<br />needed and between inspection appointments.
<br />Frequent cleaning and disinfecting will be conducted in high -touch areas, such as phones, keyboards, touch
<br />screens, controls, door handles, elevator panels, railings, copy machines, etc. Common work areas are cleaned
<br />and disinfected each day by building maintenance staff. Employees are expected to:
<br />• Wipe common surfaces such as copier/postage machine touch pads, light switches, handles, coffee pots,
<br />etc. before and after use. Employees should keep front counters clear of any items in order to ensure full
<br />sanitation of underlying surfaces.
<br />• Wipe/disinfect their personal work areas at least once each day. This includes phone, key board, mouse,
<br />mouse pad, light switch, door knobs, etc.
<br />• Employees using vehicles are expected to wipe/disinfect door handles (inside/outside, steering wheel, seat,
<br />gear shift, radio/climate control/other knobs, glove box entry, etc.)
<br />• Employees should avoid using other employees' phones, desks, offices, or other work tools and equipment,
<br />when possible. If necessary, clean and disinfect them before and after use.
