Wildwood Sports Bar and Grill
Wildwood Sports Bar and Grill is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all our workers and guests. To ensure we have a safe and healthy workplace, we have developed a COVID-19 Preparedness Plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Managers and all employees are all responsible for implementing this plan. Our goal is to mitigate the potential for transmission of COVID-19 in our workplaces and communities, and that requires full cooperation among our employees, management, and guests. Only through this cooperative effort can we establish and maintain the safety and health of our employees and workplaces.
Our employees are our most important assets. We are serious about safety and health and keeping our employees working at Wildwood. Employee involvement is essential in developing and implementing a successful COVID-19 Preparedness Plan. We have involved our active employees in this process by preparing the facility for reopening. Our COVID-19 Preparedness Plan follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines, federal OSHA standards related to COVID-19 and Executive Order 20-48, and addresses:
- infection prevention measures;
- prompt identification and isolation of sick persons;
- engineering and administrative controls for social distancing;
- cleaning, disinfecting, decontamination and ventilation;
- communications and training for managers and workers necessary to implement the plan; and
- provision of management and supervision necessary to ensure effective ongoing implementation of the plan.
- All customers and guests are required to wear face masks or face covering due to Rochester City Limits Order as of July 8th 2020.
Screening and policies for employees exhibiting signs and symptoms of COVID-19
Employees have been informed of and encouraged to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. The following policies and procedures are being implemented to assess employees’ health status prior to entering the workplace and for workers to report when they are sick or experiencing symptoms. Temperature checks for all employees before a shift will be taken and logged. No employee that is feeling ill will be permitted to work and any employee who becomes ill during a shift will be sent home.
Employees with underlying medical conditions or who have household members with underlying health conditions will not return to work until approved by their medical provider or until they are comfortable returning.
Wildwood has also implemented a policy for informing workers if they have been exposed to a person with COVID-19 at their workplace and requiring them to quarantine for the required amount of time. Wildwood management will contact the exposed individual via phone immediately and advise individual to remain in self-quarantine for 7-14 days and ensure there are no symptoms before permission to return to work.
In addition, a policy has been implemented to protect the privacy of employees’ health status and health information. Information of exposed individuals will only be shared with the employee affected, direct supervisor, general manager, and owner.
Handwashing
Basic infection prevention measures are always implemented at our facility. Employees are instructed to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water frequently throughout the day, but especially at the beginning and end of their shift, prior to any mealtimes and after using the toilet. Signage at the building entrance advises all guests to wash or sanitize their hands prior to or immediately upon entering the facility. Hand-sanitizer dispensers are at entrances and throughout the facility so they can be used for hand hygiene in place of soap and water if hands are not visibly soiled.
Handwashing stations are located at each employee station/area. Guest handwashing stations are in the restrooms. Hand sanitizer stations will be placed throughout the facility for guests.
Respiratory etiquette: Cover your cough or sneeze
Employees and guests are being instructed to cover their mouth and nose with their sleeve or a tissue when coughing or sneezing and to avoid touching their face, mouth, nose, and eyes, with their hands. They should dispose of tissues in provided trash receptacles and wash or sanitize their hands immediately afterward. Employees will always also be required to wear masks in the facility.
