If feasible access and egress will be in a one-way direction. Rooms will be sanitized before and after each election as will door handles, chairs, and tables. Election judges will clean and disinfect voting-associated equipment (e.g., voting machines, laptops, tablets, keyboards) routinely as well. Worker hygiene and source controls Basic infection prevention measures are being implemented at our workplaces at all times. Workers are instructed to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water frequently throughout the day, but especially at the beginning and end of their shift, prior to any mealtimes and after using the restroom. All visitors to the facility will be required to wash their hands prior to or immediately upon entering the facility. Some workplaces may have hand-sanitizer dispensers (that use sanitizers of greater than 60% alcohol) that can be used for hand hygiene in place of soap and water if hands are not visibly soiled. Hand sanitizers are available in areas where social distancing human interaction may take place. If there is no sanitizer in a meeting area, employees shall contact their supervisor so sanitizer can be provided. In the meantime, employees are encouraged to continue with proper handwashing after each interaction and to not touch their face. Drop-off, pick-up and delivery contacts shall be minimized by requiring such deliveries to be left at the front door or in the vestibule. Latex gloves are available to retrieve deliveries and employees shall wash their hands after making such contact. Employees and visitors are being instructed to cover their mouth and nose with their sleeve or a tissue when coughing or sneezing and to avoid touching their face, in particular their mouth, nose and eyes, with their hands. They should dispose of tissues in the trash and wash or sanitize their hands immediately afterward. Respiratory etiquette will be demonstrated on posters and supported by making tissues and trash receptacles available to all employees and visitors. Reminder notes are placed throughout city facilities and employees are frequently reminded of proper respiratory etiquette. Workplace building and ventilation protocol Operation of the building in which the workplace is located, includes necessary sanitation, assessment, and maintenance of building systems, including water, plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The city follows ASHRAE & CDC Reopening Guidelines which increases airborne exposures by increasing ventilation and increasing filtration. Specifically, building air will be flushed for two full hours prior to the first expected occupancy and the air will be flushed again for two full hours post-occupancy or after closing. The maximum amount of fresh air is being brought into the workplace, air recirculation is being limited, and ventilation systems are being properly used and maintained. Steps are also being taken to minimize air flow blowing across people. HVAC systems have been inspected and will continually be inspected to ensure they are commissioned correctly. All zones and spaces throughout buildings will be monitored for temperature and humidity. They will use outside air economization to maximize airflow and free cooling. And, temperatures in each zone or office will be kept above the recommended dew point temperature at all times.
