At Coho Concrete Pumping Ltd., we believe it is imperative to communicate with our employees, customers and suppliers during this challenging time to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Our company continues to prioritize workers’ health and well-being.

 

Safety precautions and procedures have been implemented, so we continue operating with a high level of service to our customers while balancing the needs of our staff.

 

We are currently taking all measures to ensure health and safety in our workplace by implementing social-distancing techniques on jobsites and our offices where practicable and mandating self-isolation for team members who may be exhibiting any indication of cold or flu-like symptoms.

 

Due to the nature of the current situation, there will be external events beyond our control which may impact ability to deliver products at our current level of service.

 

We continue to monitor daily updates and guidance from our Provincial and Federal Governments and will communicate any changes in our company’s policies as necessary.

 

The success of our business relies on the well-being of our employees, customers, community and suppliers. Collaboratively, we can ensure that are workplaces remain safe.

Employee Procedures:

 

Keep your hands clean

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Cough or sneeze into the bend of your arm.

• Avoid touching surfaces people touch often. Instead of a handshake, give a friendly wave or elbow bump.

• Use any necessary personal protective equipment, as directed.

• Follow all project site specific safety requirements.

 

Keep your distance

• Keep a distance of 2 meters between you, your coworkers, and customers. 

• Increase distance between desks, tables and workstations.

• Reduce activities that require close physical proximity or contact with people, such as team meetings. 

• Limit any contact closer than 2 meters to the shortest time possible.

 

Face Masks

• Wear a mask, when physical distancing is not possible. Masks can help prevent the spread of the virus from the person wearing the mask to others. Masks alone do not protect against COVID-19 and should be combined with physical distancing and hand hygiene.

 

If you have a symptom of COVID-19

• If you have one symptom of COVID-19 (fever, cough or difficulty breathing), or even mild symptoms, you should inform your supervisor and stay home to avoid spreading illness to others.

• If you develop even mild symptoms while at your workplace, separate yourself from others and go home, avoiding use of public transit (e.g. buses, train, taxi) if possible.

• Contact your local Public Health Authority and follow their advice. If you are concerned about your financial stability during this time, the Government of Canada is providing assistance.
