• Employees who are well but who have a sick family member at home with COVID-19 should notify their supervisor, will be asked to self-isolate, and refer to CDC guidance for how to conduct a risk assessment of their potential exposure.

• Exline has reinforced through posters, internal campaigns, and points of emphasis the importance of personal and professional hygiene, through the use of sanitizers and proper handwashing techniques.

  • Members abide by company issued memo dated 3/13/20
  • Hand sanitizers are installed in break/restroom and on shop floors

  • Breaks and lunches will be limited to the number of employees allowed in a given area adequate to meet the social distancing guidance provided by the CDC.
