At BelFlex, the health and well-being of our clients, employees, colleagues and neighbors are paramount. We have a dedicated team closely monitoring Coronavirus (COVID-19) developments and we will be providing regular updates on this page. Below is some additional information that covers the policies and procedures we have put in place to help reduce the impact of the virus. This page will be updated as information changes or new recommendations emerge.

Overview

Belflex Staffing Network is fully operational & is committed to doing our part to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus & remains dedicated to the health, well-being and safety of our employees and clients. Thank you for being a valued Belflex Staffing Network employee. We recognize this is a tough situation for all of us & we wish you well during this time.

COVID-19 is the abbreviation for the specific strain of the novel (new) coronavirus disease 2019 (previously referred to as 2019 N-Cov), which is causing a spread of respiratory illness worldwide. In addressing this issue, we are following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA).

General Health and Safety

Health and safety are always a top priority and as per our usual protocol, sick employees are asked to stay home. We also encourage all employees to practice good hygiene and to wipe down any shared surfaces (keyboard, desks, iPads copiers, doors, etc.) before use and wash their hands thoroughly and often.

Employee Exposure Protocol

Any BelFlex employee who is concerned they may have contracted or been exposed to COVID-19 has been instructed to follow CDC guidelines. This includes contacting a healthcare professional and discussing recent travel, possible exposure or other reasons for concern. The CDC is working with each state’s public health department on COVID-19 testing parameters. Employees must also notify their manager and HR representative immediately that they may have contracted or been exposed to COVID-19 and that they have contacted their healthcare provider for further guidance.

Notification Procedures

Should a BelFlex internal or contract employee be diagnosed with or exposed to COVID-19, we will immediately inform all clients, internal employees and contract workers associated with the individual. If we learn from a client that one of its workers not employed by BelFlex has been diagnosed or exposed, we will immediately notify all of our internal employees and contract workers associated with the individual.

Public Spaces

We encourage all of our employees to travel with antibacterial wipes and hand sanitizer and recommend they avoid activities where they may be exposed to large groups of people.
