Airport Village Self-Storage COVID-19 Response Plan and Updates

Purpose: Airport Village Self-Storage (AVSS) is committed to ensuring adequate measures are taken to reduce or eliminate workplace illness. This policy should be followed by all employees during the COVID-19 outbreak. This is to outline health and safety precautions to be taken to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 and help keep our employees and your families healthy.

Responsibilities: AVSS wants to ensure that all employees take reasonable actions to help stop and prevent the spread of the COVID-19. AVSS will also make extra efforts to maintain a healthy and safe working environment for all employees. We have acquired additional hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes so each employee can keep their workspace clean and have also increased daily cleaning, wiping down all high contact points regularly such as door handles, cart handles, washroom, front desk, coffee bar, etc.

Procedures:

All employees should do the following:

Wash your hands regularly with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds before and after eating, going to the restroom, after coughing, sneezing, and after touching contaminated surfaces.
If warm water soap is not available use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
Cough and sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands
Throw away tissues promptly after use
Frequently clean and disinfect any surfaces that may be contaminated
Avoid contact like shaking hands and personal contact with others
Avoid close contact with people who are sick
If you feel ill, report it to your supervisor and remain at home.
If you develop a cough or low-grade fever, you should stay home, self-isolate and contact your doctor or public health
Before returning to work you will need to fill our and sign the “Return to work sign off form” and get approval from your supervisor before returning.

Business Travel:

To reduce exposure to our employees, non-essentialbusiness-related travel is restricted, effective immediately. Non-essential business-related travel includes conferences, retreats, training and meetings.
All other business travel must be pre-approved by your manager.

Personal Travel:

We strongly recommended that employees avoid personal / leisure travel outside of Canada or to any high-risk area within Canada
Should you choose to disregard this recommendation, we ask you to act responsibly and tell your Manager that you intend to travel to high-risk areas
You will also need to check with our Insurance carrier Equitable Life to confirm that they will cover you during your travel. Changes to Insurance coverage is changing daily so on the day of travel you will need to confirm that coverage is still available otherwise you may not have any coverage for your travel
Upon your return, you will be required to self-quarantine as per the BC Government recommendations at that time.
If you choose to travel outside Canada, be advised that during your period of quarantine your wages will not be covered by the company, so you will have to either rely upon available vacation days or take an unpaid leave of absence until you are symptom free and cleared to return to work

Benefits:

Equitable Life (STD) has confirmed that they will waive the 8-day waiting period for any employees that have confirmation on the Corona virus. However, if you are sick longer than 14 days there will be an 8-day waiting period before benefits will continue.

Customer Interaction:

Social distance between employees and customers
Encourage existing customer to move to autopayments or make payments online
Encourage new customers to do online rentals and sign up for auto pay
Highly discourage cash payments.

If cash must be taken, please have customer count it into an envelope and such envelope must be placed into the drawer for a min of 24 hours quarantine before we touch it.

Mask requirements for AVSS Office and Buildings:

New regulations for masks were issued on November 19, 2020 in BC and are effective immediately
All customers and visitors must wear a mask when in the office or buildings
All employees must wear masks in the office or buildings when in the presence of customers or visitors

Worker Health Check-ins:

Employers must ensure that every worker performs a daily health check
Each employee must review the symptoms listed on the entrance doors and sign off each day that they have none of the listed symptoms
Anyone with any of these symptoms must not enter our building
There will be a sign off sheet placed in the office where each employee needs to initial each day
All visitors will need to confirm they have no COVID-19 symptoms and have not travelled outside of Canada in the past 14 days

This is a dynamic situation and changes to this policy may take place as we get more information.

Let’s all work together to stay healthy and help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Thanks

Gene Reimer
