June 2020 Group Watch: Automakers Ramping Back Up
Alabama automakers have been ramping up production following the COVID-19 outbreak, with strict new protocols in place to prevent spread of the virus. Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz all are implementing similar measures as employees return to work, including temperature checks, staggered shifts, frequent sanitizing and additional protective gear. Employees are having their temperature taken each time they return to work and answering a questionnaire to identify any potential exposure during lunch breaks and shift changes. Masks and cloth face coverings are required at all times inside all buildings unless people are eating or drinking, and offices are providing one new mask per day for employees. Face shields are required in certain areas, and cleaning and disinfecting activities have increased.
