To our customers and vendors,

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire world.  As the days wear on,  it is crucial to stay vigilant.  All of us have a social responsibility, not just to the most vulnerable but to our communities as a whole.  LabtronX takes that responsibility very seriously.  

Essential Work

Being primarily in the Water Industry, CISA (Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency of the US Department of Homeland Security) defines LabtronX as having essential infrastructure workers.  The maintenance, calibration, and repair of and supply sales for quality control lab equipment and continuous monitoring equipment are needed to maintain our nation’s water utilities’ safety, sanitation, and essential operations.  

It is important to note that LabtronX’s reach into essential services is not limited to the water industry. LabtronX also includes other sectors we are proud to serve.  We will be supporting medical and healthcare, food, defense, transportation, energy, and public works industries.  

While the work to maintain services at these many facilities falls most significantly on the operators at each location, it is essential that they know we are here ready, willing, and able to help. The laboratory equipment must remain accurate and reliable.

Partnership Agreement

There are a few necessary steps to which we all must adhere.   Agreeing to these will ensure that doing essential business together will not risk the operation of our critical infrastructures:

  • Personal Conduct
    • Watch your distance; employees will avoid being within 6 feet of others
    • Wash Hands; employees will regularly wash hands and use hand sanitizer 
    • Wear appropriate facemasks
    • Cover Coughs and Sneezes
    • Avoid Touching Face
    • Disinfect Frequently Touched Surfaces and Items

 

  • Illness Procedures
    • Employees will be sent home for isolation when they have any symptoms of illness.
    • Employees sent home for isolation will get tested for COVID.
    • If the test results are negative, fever-free employees may return to work.
    • If the test results are positive, employees may return to work after being fever-free for 24 hours and a minimum of 5 days from the first symptoms has passed.
  • Employees Exposed to COVID
    • Employees Up-to-date on COVID vaccinations (All LabtronX Employees are fully vaccinated) 
      • Wear a well-fitted mask for ten days whenever you are around others inside your home or in public. Do not go to places where you are unable to wear a mask.
      • No quarantine is needed unless they develop symptoms.
      • If you develop symptoms, Isolate immediately and get tested. Continue to stay home until you know the results. Wear a well-fitted mask around others.
  • Notification
    • When an employee tests positive for COVID, and there was a possibility of contact with other company’s employees within the past five days, The COVID positive employee’s company will notify those companies of the positive test result and the date of the first symptoms.

Tactics and strategies change as we learn more about the virus and controlling its spread.  For this reason, we all must stay in communication about our procedures and policies. Please let us know if there are any additional guidelines to which you would like us to adhere. If you have any questions about this or your equipment and supplies, as I said before, LabtronX is here for you.

Thanks for being a valued business partner,
