Our graffiti and litter abatement, bandit sign removal, and landscape maintenance are continuing with the following added protocols:

• Staggered arrival times for crews to minimize human-to-human interaction and encourage social distancing, beginning at 6AM. Crews will return to warehouse in the same order they arrived.
• Zero human-to-human contact in the field. If contact needs to be made with a property owner, the crew member will call supervisor to reach owner by phone or e-mail.
• Monitoring the health of all employees. Crew members will report any and all illness symptoms to supervisor and will be asked to quarantine in the event of illness.
• Use of available PPE, including gloves, masks, goggles, and suits.
• Routine sanitation of equipment, vehicles, and warehouse space (including locks, door handles, and common areas).
• Crew members will report any and all incidents of contact to supervisor.
