Tower 7’s Response To
COVID-19
"...the health, safety and happiness of our members stand above all else."
We believe the best way to begin any policy is reminding both workers and our members: the success of our shared space relies completely on the respect and care for all individuals who come through our doors. Thus, the health, safety and happiness of our members, workers, and visitors stand above all else.
Without them we wouldn’t be.
Therefore, as we navigate this brave new world, rest assured all of the following measures have been and will continue to be implemented for the wellbeing of Co-work at Tower 7 members.
All members and visitors are kindly requested to follow all of these rules diligently, to sustain a healthy and safe workplace in this unique environment. It’s important that we all respond responsibly and transparently to these health precautions. We assure you that we will always treat your private health with high confidentiality and sensitivity.
This COVID policy is susceptible to changes with the introduction of additional governmental guidelines. If so, we will update you as soon as possible by email.
Following Mr. Clean's advice,
we are implementing the following:
"Wipe on, wipe off"
We are constantly disinfecting and cleaning using products that are EPA-approved for use against the virus that causes COVID-19. High-traffic areas and objects will be cleaned by staff throughout the day.
Sanitize me, captain!
Sanitization bottles are provided near the front and back of our shared space. And yes, you can pump as many times as you'd like.
Mask ON!
Face coverings are required when entering the shared space and optional as you move around. All face coverings, masks, or bandanas should cover your nose and mouth when worn.
Utensils
(yes, sporks included)
Our kitchenware includes disposable utensils, mugs and plates for the health and safety of our members.
6 Foot Bubble
Our member limiting, due to our humble and quaint space, has prepared us for times like these. Our members have always had enough room to create a figurative work bubble around them to help them be more productive. As we welcome new members and guests, we will continue to limit our capacity.
General rules of thumb for hygiene practices:
For all, regardless of specific exposure risks, it is always a good practice to:
- Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. When soap and running water are unavailable, use an alcohol-based hand rub with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands that are visibly soiled.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Practice good respiratory etiquette, including covering coughs and sneezes.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home if sick.
- Recognize personal risk factors. According to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), certain people, including older adults and those with underlying conditions such as heart or lung disease or diabetes, are at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19.
