WASHINGTON—The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has posted tips and advice on its website for banks and credit unions to follow to protect staff and slow the spread of COVID-19.
The tips for credit union employers include creating a COVID-19 workplace health and safety plan, conducting a hazard assessment and developing hazard controls.
The webpage provides advice on engineering controls—isolating workers from hazards through workspace distancing and transparent shields, as well as adjusting HVAC ventilation and adding filtration—and administrative controls, including changing workflows and practices, cleaning facilities and encouraging cloth face coverings as appropriate.
The CDC also recommends considering conducting daily health checks of employees before they enter the facility.
The CDC also has a page for financial institution employees.
