COVID-19

WHAT WE ARE DOING AT FIT FOODS TO KEEP OUR EMPLOYEES SAFE

At Fit Foods we take very seriously the health and safety of our employees. During this unprecedented extraordinary time, in addition to our other usual safety protocols, we have enacted FURTHER measures to help keep our employees safe.

From the very start of the notification of the virus the company has been proactive. We have made a significant number of changes and adaptions to the facility; such as limiting the contact of people, adapting new processes, and the purchase of additional cleaning supplies, hand-sanitizing products, masks, and other protective equipment. This has all been done with one focus and goal in mind — to increase the safety of our employees!

Entry to the facility is limited; access is only permitted by government bodies and by others when only absolutely necessary.

Our safety culture starts right from the interviewing process.

We require any individuals including employees to self monitor their health before entering the facility. For those who have been exposed or who have developed symptoms of Covid-19; they are not permitted to not enter the facility, they are required to stay home and self isolate for fourteen days before trying to enter again.
