Individual Control Measures and Screenings

• Employees whose work duties can be conducted remotely are doing so and will continue to do so until the Risk Reduction Order is lifted. In-person instruction is limited based on public health orders, including State and County requirements. Most classes are only offered online, so most students, faculty, and staff will not come to campus.
• Class sections have been scheduled to comply with occupancy limits for required physical distancing and to allow for enough time in between class meetings for cleaning.
• A Room-Specific Protection Plan (RPP) has been developed for all classrooms and College facilities that are scheduled to be used for in-person instruction.
• All students, employees, and authorized visitors have been provided with or have administered to themselves symptom and/or temperature screenings before entering campus for each visit. If temperatures are taken, the individual conducting the temperature/symptom screening will avoid close contact with employees to the extent possible. Both screeners and employees wear face coverings during each in-person screening. Screening follows CDC Guidelines.
• Students, employees, and authorized visitors who are sick or exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 are directed to stay home and Centers for Disease Control guidelines will be followed for when that individual may return to campus.
• Face coverings are required when employees and students are on campus. Face coverings are required when in the vicinity of others. Face coverings are not shared.
• Employees take reasonable measures to communicate with students and the public that they should use face coverings.
• Students, faculty, and staff are provided with face coverings, and the employer ensures this equipment is worn properly at all times. Hand sanitizer will also be available and frequent use is encouraged.
• Employees and students are provided with all required protective equipment (i.e., face coverings) to be worn properly at all times.
  • Employees are provided with:
  • Surgical masks or N95 masks (faculty member’s choice) for faculty, up to one per week of in-person instruction. Faculty who want N95 masks should ask the dean/director who will submit a SchoolDude request.
  • Face shields for faculty upon request, up to one per semester. Faculty should ask the dean/director who will submit a SchoolDude request.
  • Students are provided with:
  • Surgical masks for students, up to one per week of in-person instruction. The College may substitute N95 masks at its discretion. Students will obtain masks in class.
  • N95 masks for nursing students, up to one per week of in-person instruction (unless more required for nursing/clinical course needs).
• Employees and students may provide their own protective equipment provided that it is acceptable for COVID-19 prevention pursuant to current CDC guidance.
  • An acceptable face covering is one that: Fits snugly against the face, covers an individual’s nose and mouth, and is secured under the chin.
  • These are a few examples of coverings that are not acceptable: Those with holes in the covering, including exhalation valves mesh or lace fabrics; those that cannot be secured under the chin, including bandanas and face shields (worn on their own); neck gaiters (also called multi-bands).
  • Face shields may be worn in addition to face coverings, but not in place of face coverings.
• Employees are provided with and use protective equipment when offloading and storing delivered goods. Employees inspect deliveries and perform disinfection measures prior to storing goods in warehouses and facilities.
