Colleagues,
The health and safety of our employees, contractors and customers is our top priority and we continue to monitor changing conditions regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in coordination with local, state and national officials, with guidance from the CDC.
We have purchased additional COVID-19 protective equipment, including masks, and have updated our policy as to when mask usage will now be required for employees who must report to a company facility or job site.
Employees are required to use COVID-19 protective equipment, such as KN95 or surgical masks, when:
- It is not possible to maintain six feet of social distance
- Entering occupied customer premises
- Performing work in locations in which local government requires use of a face covering.
In all other cases, except when an employee is isolated (such as working alone in remote areas or closed offices, or driving alone in vehicles), mask use is not required, but encouraged.
Your supervisor can answer questions regarding the specific implementation of these policies and will have masks on hand for employees. If you report to a company location and would like to wear a mask, even if not required, we will provide them. Further, you may choose to voluntarily wear your own cloth face covering, provided that the cloth face covering meets CDC requirements and you are not performing work that requires other protective equipment, as outlined above.
The situation is fluid -- guidance from the CDC is updated frequently, and some local and state governments are now mandating the use of masks and other protective equipment. We are prepared to comply with changing regulations and CDC guidance, and will continue to do all we can to keep our employees, contractors and customers safe.
Also remember that Exelon's Coronavirus Information Center -- exeloncorp.com/coronavirus -- is updated frequently and is a good source of information on our ongoing response.
Stay well,
Calvin, Ken and Bridget
