Governor Inslee has asked all businesses to
ensure adequate cleaning of stores, and to designate an employee or officer to
implement a social distancing plan for their business.
Most workers in Washington will have to wear a mask or face covering at work under new coronavirus workplace safety and health requirements that take effect June 8. The Washington State Departnent of Labor & Industries has a
COVID-19 webpage where employers can find training materials and important PPE guidance.
The
ICSC recommends
upgraded cleaning and hygiene practices. Key components of these practices include the disinfecting of areas susceptible to the spread of viral germs, including children's play areas, public restrooms, door handles, handrails, tables, etc., as well as scheduled daily cleaning of remaining spaces.
Businesses should
install and maintain dispensers for alcohol-based hand sanitizer in locations where the spread of germs is likely, and where normal soap and water hand washing stations are unavailable.
It is important that businesses
establish and maintain open lines of communication with local health departments, and continue to
follow local health directives.
Educate people about COVID-19 precautions and recommendations by
displaying CDC public service announcements at entrances and throughout the property. Property owners should distribute these communications to tenants.
Consider establishing work cohorts, teams that work the same hours together, to
enable resiliency.
Encourage employees to stay home when they are sick.
Provide employees with the appropriate resources to help protect themselves and their families.
