But first, be sure to vet your options.#1 Ask what additional precautions they’re taking due to coronavirus.
Good plumbers are serious about cleanliness. But now, more than ever, they should be able to give clear and specific answers to the following questions:- What procedures do you have in place to monitor your team members’ health? And at what point do you forbid them from coming to work?
- Has anyone on your team tested positive for coronavirus—or complained of flu-like symptoms—in the past 14 days?
- In the last two weeks, has anyone on your team had close contact with someone who’s tested positive for the virus (or has been presumed positive)?
- What sanitation procedures do you have in place for your supplies and equipment?
- Do you provide your team with sanitizing wipes, gloves, eye protection, and masks?
- When you arrive at my home, what can I expect in terms of hand-washing and so on?
