Temperature checks are a proven way to reduce exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace, and new clearances from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) allow companies to implement these CDC recommended screenings. Aveanna Wellness can help companies to effectively implement procedures and policies consistent with state and federal guidelines, as well as adhere to EEOC, CDC, and workers’ compensation requirements.
“Many companies have turned to us to help them reduce the risk of workers’ comp claims while at the same time giving their employees peace of mind,” said Mark Bush, President, Northeast Region at Aveanna. “Screening can also prevent their physical workspaces from being contaminated by COVID-19. Work stoppages are extremely costly, as is the expense of sanitizing an entire building or warehouse. The ultimate goal of our program is to ensure a safe work environment in the first place.”
