Workspace COVID Policies
NOTE: This may all sound complex and daunting, but we promise you that it isn't! Once you've gone through it a few times it starts to become just another aspect of your workday routine. The over-riding principles are simple:
- Follow the check-in / screening process. (Don't worry - we'll help you!)
- Be mindful of your surroundings, and respectful to other members - particularly when it comes wearing your mask when you can't maintain adequate (6 ft.) distancing, and helping keep our workspace clean.
- Clean/disinfect your hands upon entering, when appropriate during your time here, and when you're ready to leave.
- If you're ever unsure of anything - or want help - just ask!
We do ask that you take a moment to read and digest the detailed information below. But if everyone just follows the 4 key points above, we should all be able to keep each other safe.
COVID-RELATED POLICIES
All customers are politely reminded that visitors and traveling residents who are returning to the area are directed to self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. (Our facility is not a self-quarantine location.)
All customers must read, understand, and sign a contract and waiver prior to using our workspace, and agree to abide by our facility policies.
Upon entry each day, all customers must undergo a brief screening process. All screening data will be retained in the event it might be required to assist in contract tracing. Anyone answering "YES" to any one of the following questions will be politely but firmly denied entry:
- Have you been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19?
- Are you experiencing a cough, shortness of breath or sore throat?
- Have you had a fever in the last 48 hours?
- Have you had new loss of taste or smell?
- Have you had vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24 hours?
Upon entering each day each customer must agree to have their temperature checked with a no-touch forehead thermometer. Anyone with a temperature above 100.4 degrees fahrenheit will be politely but firmly denied entry.
Any customer or staff member exhibiting any symptoms that might be consistent with the symptoms of COVID-19 will be politely but firmly asked to leave and not return for at least 72 hours.
All members will need to wash or sanitize their hands upon entering the building. Soap and hand sanitizer is readily available throughout our facility.
All members will be required to wear cloth face coverings in accordance with CDC recommendations.
We have a limited supply of disposable masks available on site. You are expected to wear your mask when moving about the space or when you know that you will be within 6' of others. Masks may be removed when you are in private offices or while maintaining 6'+ of separation at your workstation. Please bear in mind that wearing a mask is primarily about protecting others. So please be considerate and respectful to those around you.
Members are asked to wipe down workstations and communal areas after use. This includes kitchen surfaces, printer buttons, and any other surfaces others may touch. Sanitizer, disinfecting supplies, and gloves are available at cleaning stations within our space.
A NOTE ON CLEANING ...
Since before we opened last July, our goal was to have an unusually clean facility. (And bear in mind that fitness centers are far more difficult to keep clean than office spaces!) A quick scan of our online customer reviews would suggest that our customers feel that we've succeeded.
We spend a substantial amount on cleaning every month with a commercial cleaning company, and all of our staff are trained to make facility cleanliness a priority.
In addition, we own and use some of the most sophisticated and effective disinfecting tools on the market, including:
- An AirPHX whole-building air purification and surface disinfection appliance. (AirPHX was recently selected for what is being called the first post-COVID office building in the US.)
- A Protexus Electrostatic sprayer, which is one of the tools that’s commonly being used to disinfect commercial aircraft. (We purchased ours before we opened, and they are currently on 8-12 week backorder.)
- A commercial grade handheld 55 watt UV-C surface sterilizer (which we bought right before we shut down, and which are currently on 4-5 week backorder).
(We're not messing around!)
