COVID-19: Atlas Health and Safety Protocol
Atlas is closely monitoring information related to the global pandemic of COVID-19 from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and regions within the U.S. at a local level to ensure we have the latest news and recommendations.
Our top priority is to protect the health and safety of our valued customers and Atlas team members. However, we also believe a top priority is to help our customers remain productive during these financially uncertain times.
Today I want to share with you what we are doing to protect health and safety.
First, we have developed and shared with our onsite team members COVID-19 Health and Safety Guidelines on how to protect themselves and others.
Second, to protect our clients we are asking all onsite Atlas team members to complete a Self-declaration Questionnaire regarding their health conditions and potential contact with at-risk persons and locations. If an individual’s response indicates risk, they will be restricted from entering a client site. All team members are instructed to update us if their situation changes. Depending on the length of the current crisis, we may repeat this process in the future.
Third, to protect our onsite Atlas team members, prior to providing targeted services we are implementing a brief Employee Screen to similarly confirm an employee’s current health condition and to see if they have had any contact with people or locations that pose a higher risk. If an individual’s response indicates risk, care will not be provided and in specific situations our Exposure Response Action Plan will be implemented.
We recognize we provide a variety of injury prevention services at local physical therapy clinics and are confident in the professionalism of our physical therapy network to adhere to America Physical Therapy Association COVID-19 Best Practices. Unless circumstances indicate otherwise, we will maintain confidence in how they will conduct themselves.
In a few days I will share new and existing solutions to help you maintain productivity during this crisis. If you have questions, please let us know. Please stay vigilant and safe.
