Intermountain Healthcare, the University of Utah and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have partnered to help 5 million medical grade masks be created for use by frontline healthcare workers. This effort is called ProjectProtect.
Intermountain Dixie Regional Medical Center has been working to have kits made available locally and received approval on Thursday for 1,000 kits to arrive in St. George that need to be picked up this Tuesday for completion this week. If you are willing to help sew these masks, please go to http://www.justserve.org/projectprotect.
To register to receive a mask kit, scroll to the bottom of the page where St. George appears at the end of “Week 4” options.
Your efforts in support of ProjectProtect will help protect frontline medical workers.
Thank you!
The construction industry is clearly essential for the health and welfare of the community. The Corona pandemic has temporarily closed many businesses leaving uncertainty for all. State and national leadership have listened to the facts articulated by our industry to keep us designated as an essential business; however, for this to remain intact we need to operate under certain guidelines.
* Make your
jobsite Covid-19 safe for all who enter the site.
* Keep a jobsite log of everyone who enters your site. If
someone comes to work sick you will need to know who was on the site at any
given time.
* Provide a safe workspace for inspectors. Vacate the site
during inspections. Clarifications and follow up should be done by phone, when
possible, or with limited personnel on site.
* The number of visitors to the job site should be limited
to only those necessary for the work.
* Any employee/contractor/visitor showing symptoms of
COVID-19 should be asked to leave the jobsite and return home.
* Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at
least 20 seconds. When soap and running water are unavailable, use an
alcohol-based hand rub with at least 60% alcohol.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed
hands.
* Follow appropriate respiratory etiquette, which includes
covering for coughs and sneezes.
* Avoid close contact with people
* Safety meetings should be by telephone, if possible
* Employees should be encouraged to stagger breaks and
lunches, to reduce the size of any group at any one time to less than ten (10)
people. Eliminate the job site microwave.
* During work, employees must sanitize the work areas upon
arrival, throughout the workday, and immediately before departure.
* Employees should ask others to keep a minimum personal
distance of six (6) feet. Workers should wash or sanitize hands immediately
before starting and after completing the work.
* Site deliveries are permitted but should be properly
coordinated in line with the employer’s minimal contact and cleaning
protocols. Delivery personnel should remain in their vehicles, if possible.
Delivery drivers and sales people must also be entered into the job site visit
log.
