COVID-19 Procedures for the
Church Office |
|
1. |
Before the office is opened, all employees and
volunteers need to be trained in “respiratory
etiquette”, social distancing, cleaning and
disinfecting protocols, the proper use of PPE,
and what to do if there is an exposure. There
will be posters in the office about personal
hygiene and about COVID-19 symptoms. |
|
2. |
All employees and volunteers use south office
doorway. Sanitize hands, put on mask, sanitize
hands again. Respect six-foot distancing. Take
temperature – must be less than 100.4 degrees
Fahrenheit. Person does a COVID-19
screening questionnaire. If person shows
symptoms of being sick, has fever, or doesn’t
pass the screening questionnaire, he/she must
leave. Sanitizing station and paper mask
dispenser will be on wall or tables next to
door. Person may wear cloth mask from home, but
it must be clean and should be washed after
wearing. There should be a table with gloves
near the door too. Everyone entering the
building on a weekday should sign in, in case
contact tracing becomes necessary. |

Employees clean common surfaces before and after
use: Counters, copier, volunteer desk phone and
keyboard and mouse, door handles, light
switches, edges of Work Room cupboards and
drawers, other common surfaces. Everyone
periodically washes hands for 20 seconds or uses
sanitizer. Everyone wipes down his/her work
station before starting work and at the end of
work. Church will supply cleaning products that
are CDC-recommended for COVID-19, and employees
and volunteers will be trained on safe handling
of these products. More detailed instructions
about cleaning are described in the
Cleaning
Procedure. |

Employees and volunteers wear masks in common
areas (hallways, Work Room, bathrooms, etc.) and
practice social distancing. |

5. |
Employees and volunteers will work a staggered
schedule in the office, with remote work
encouraged. (Note: MIOSHA requires suspension of
all nonessential visitors during the pandemic.
How can we do that? We are a church! This will
need more discussion). |
