Brothers Workplace Safety Solutions would like to express our sincere appreciation for your continued efforts in slowing the spread of coronavirus by social distancing, sheltering in place, and personal hygiene. For a complete, up to date, list of recommendations on mitigation steps, visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html. Please know that as more is learned about this virus, these recommendations are subject to change. It is in everyone’s best interest to routinely visit the CDC’s website for updates on keeping this virus at bay.
In an effort to comply with federal, state, and local recommendations to slow the spread of COVID-19, we are suspending all of our CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogen training until May 1, 2020. We will monitor recommendations from the CDC and will adjust this date, if necessary, to protect our community from the spread of the virus.
The uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 virus is, at best, unsettling. Remember, you are not alone. We are all in this together. We are here for you if you have questions or concerns regarding your training needs. Many of you have certifications that have or will soon expire. As of March 13, 2020, the American Heart Association has recommended that employers and regulatory bodies consider extending recognition of an AHA Provider Card beyond its renewal date, for up to 60 days. However, please know that it is ultimately up to the discretion of employers and regulatory bodies who require current AHA Provider Cards to consider allowing extensions during this time.
We will continue to provide fire extinguisher service and inspections as necessary. However, we have implemented several changes to minimize our technician’s and your employee’s exposure potential. For example, we will verify that on-site precautions are in place, practice social distancing, and will be scheduling appointments for times when the fewest number of employees are present.
We look forward to returning to normal operations as soon as safely possible. In the meantime, please protect yourself and our community. We wish you the very best. Our hearts and prayers are with you and our nation as we navigate these unprecedented times.
