MEMO
March 20, 2020
We implemented new training
procedures, and increased safety protocols, to ensure students and staff are
safe from the spread of COVID-19. We are keeping the class size to a
maximum of 4 students, which is smaller than usual.
The classroom/lunchroom,
although clean and sanitized, will be closed temporarily to maintain social
distance between staff and students. We are asking students to take their
breaks in the equipment or in their vehicle. If your lunch needs to be
heated in the microwave or toaster oven, one student at a time will be
permitted to enter the building to prepare or to fill up their water
bottle. We are asking students not to use any drive-thru-take-out
facilities during this time.
The latrine is equipped with
soap and water so hand washing can be done as often as is necessary and
required. The latrine will also have additional sanitizing spray.
Theory testing will be done at
home. You will be provided with a set of safety videos to be viewed at
home. You will complete your tests at home and bring back to school.
Instructor will make arrangements with you for contacting him for
assistance, understanding and explanation.
Introduction to the Practical
training portion, when the instructor has all students around a machine to
learn the walk-around procedure, etc, social distancing is very manageable with
only 4 students.
Practical training is easily
delivered in isolation as every student has a dedicated machine. There is
nothing considered too much or over-the-top in terms of stopping the spread and
keeping you safe. We are providing students with hand sanitizer and
sanitizing spray and disposable rags. We are asking the students to wipe
down the door handle and the interior of the equipment each time they enter and
exit the equipment. This is a safe practise to prepare the equipment for
the next student scheduled to operate it.
Students will be asked,
daily, about their activities the night before specifically related to any
contact they may have had with someone who is a possible risk of having the
virus. Questions are similar to what is broadly identified on all news
stations to track the spread.
If you are unwell during any
day of your training, please stay home.
We will work out a make-up training schedule to ensure you complete all
modules.
Everyone plays a part in
keeping each other safe. We are confident that you will be safe in our
training environment.
Thank you for your trust and
confidence in Robar Centre.
Stay Safe!
