The Ford Government has announced over 65 sector specific guidelines to help businesses re-open after COVID-19.
Those sectors include healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, automotive, food processing, transit, tourism and hospitality.
Premier Doug Ford says his government worked with the province’s health and safety association to provide businesses in Niagara and beyond with the best advice on how to open safely.
“These guidelines will help Ontario businesses adapt to the new reality we face and keep workers and customers safe.”
The guidelines include the following;
- Ways to ensure appropriate physical distancing, like eliminating pay-at-the-door options, holding team meetings outdoors, staggering shift times and using ground markings and barriers to manage traffic flow.
- Changes to the workplace, like installing plexiglass barriers, increasing the air intake on building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to increase airflow and using boot sanitizing trays.
- Promoting proper workplace sanitation, providing personal protective equipment, substituting dry dusting with vacuuming, ensuring customer-facing staff are given hand sanitizer, providing a place to dispose of sanitizing wipes and enforcing handwashing before and after breaks.
Ford says his government will continue to provide updated advice in the coming weeks.
