COVID-19: SAFETY AT WORK




GENERIC PARTS SERVICE wants to let you know that the health and safety of our community, our customers and our employees are of the utmost importance to us and we have enacted additional measures to ensure we meet the needs of our customers as well as provide for the health and safety of our employees while still working to provide essential services to keep the country and our supply chain rolling during this worldwide emergency.


For those of us who are reporting to our workplaces, here are some reminders:

  • Stop handshaking – use other non-contact methods of greeting
  • Clean hands at the door and schedule regular hand washing reminders by email
  • Don't forget to wipe down your machinery anywhere you touch it
  • Social distancing - keep 3 to 6 feet away from each other
  • Create habits and reminders to avoid touching our faces and cover coughs and sneezes
  • Although gloves are protective, they are just like hands in that they harbor germs and viruses so they do need to be disinfected and don't touch your face with your gloves.
  • Disinfect surfaces like doorknobs, tables, desks, and handrails regularly
  • Increase ventilation by opening windows or adjusting air-conditioning
  • Be careful with meetings and travel, use video conferencing for meetings when possible
  • When not possible, hold meetings in open, well-ventilated spaces
  • Consider adjusting or postponing large meetings or gatherings
  • Assess the risks of business travel
  • Handle food carefully
  • Limit food sharing
  • Practice strict hygiene and stay home if you are feeling sick or have a sick family member in their home
