SIR RESUMES ITS OPERATIONS | June 16th, 2020
We are very pleased to announce that at SIR we are beginning the first phase of our plan to fully resume our operations.
The context of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought its share of challenges to our company. Like most Quebec companies, we had to review how we do things without affecting the efficiency of our daily operations.
As we gradually resumed our operations, we had to put in place an emergency response plan and we also created a special internal committee that meets weekly to monitor the evolution of the pandemic and the risks associated with it
The health and well-being of every customer, partner and employee has always been and always will be our priority. Therefore, we would like to share with you the preventive measures we have taken to minimize health risks to the population, in accordance with the recommendations and guidelines of the Public Health Department.
Activities will be resumed in accordance with the recommendations. Each activity has been evaluated according to several criteria:
- Physical distancing between all employees;
- Sanitary and aseptic measures;
- Protective equipment available to all our employees;
- The reorganization of our offices;
- Wearing a mask in common areas;
- A reduced occupancy rate at our premises;
- Security protocols for our employees travelling to customers’ sites.
We will continue to closely monitor all the recommendations issued by CNESST as well as those of the National Institute of Public Health.
We want to assure you: SIR Solutions employees are there for you and will continue to be there for you. Our team would like to thank you for your ongoing support. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
