Manufacturing Leadership Council releases COVID-19 operating practices from manufacturers

The Manufacturing Leadership Council, a division of the National Association of Manufacturers, Washington, D.C., has released a new collection of emerging strategies and operational practices that manufacturers of all sizes are implementing to keep their employees safe and facilities operating.

This document addresses site access to mitigate exposure, workstation measures to promote social distancing, facilities and traffic management, shift and team design, leave policies, illness or diagnosis response, essential travel policies, and returning nonessential workers.
