Understanding COVID-19 Preparedness Pans for Your Business

Minnesota is at a critical point in our shared effort to manage COVID-19 and bring forth a recovery of our state’s economy. As many states experience upticks in COVID-19 cases, it is important that Minnesota businesses and citizens understand and put into practice effective health and safety precautions. We’ve all sacrificed a lot in the last few months to prevent dire health consequences from COVID-19. And now our economy is opening up again, mitigating long-term economic devastation in our state.
 
The Minnesota Chamber has assisted businesses since the onset of COVID-19, helping them navigate health and safety recommendations and government regulations. We have a toolkit of resources for businesses to use in creating their preparedness plans. These highlight recommendations from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Following these guidelines will help you keep a healthy workforce in place and offer your vendors and customers peace of mind in working with you or coming into your workspace.
 
As of June 29, business in the state of Minnesota are required to have a “preparedness plan” in place to conduct operations. Recognizing that it’s not business as usual and businesses have a responsibility to protect workers and reassure customers, we have designed resources to help you develop and implement these plans.
 
If you have questions about preparedness plans, please join us for a free interactive discussion on Tuesday, July 7 at 1:00 p.m. Nicole Blissenbach, Assistant Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry will review many of the frequently asked questions and take your live questions, to ensure that you are developing plans to safely return to work.
