3D perception (3DP) continues to monitor public health communications for updates and guidance about COVID-19. We hold the welfare of people first and foremost and recognize there are potential business impacts. Of course, we want to do our best to minimize business disruption and continue to move ongoing programs forward. It is also very important to 3DP to contribute to the worldwide community effort in containing and the spread of the virus. Early identification of risks and open communication are the strongest defense to avoid disruption. 3D perception has taken the following measures:
HEALTH & SAFETY
3DP employee travel is restricted to business-critical only. Internally, 3DP uses videoconferencing or teleconferencing when possible for work-related meetings and “gatherings.” In the rare instance when videoconferencing or teleconferencing is not possible, 3DP holds meetings in open, well-ventilated spaces continuing to maintain a distance of 6 feet apart and require face coverings to be worn and hand sanitizer is provided.
Visitors to 3DP facilities in both the United States and Norway will need to complete a COVID-19 prescreening form prior to visit. Please coordinate with your 3DP POC for this process. Visitors originating from or traveling through at-risk countries will require 3DP senior level leadership approval. Visitors are provided access to tissues and no-touch trash cans, disposable face masks and hand sanitizer for their use at reception.
In addition to visitor and travel management, note that we regularly sanitize working and common spaces in our offices to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19, and regularly share exposure-prevention protocols to reinforce healthy behaviors.
CUSTOMERS
3DP Program Managers have been in constant contact with customers with active or upcoming programs to align on affected/updated scheduling and mitigation strategies to address the needs of your programs in an optimal and safe manner. We will do our best to be flexible to find alternative solutions, including remote support sessions in lieu of on-site visits when possible. We also ask our customers to inform 3DP of any preventative measures taken on sites we are scheduled to visit.
Employees adhere to the following protocols outlined in the 3DP COVID-19 Prevention Checklist when performing work at customer sites:
- Check for COVID-19 Symptoms (coughing, fever, shortness of breath, chills, body aches, sore throat, and headache). Notify Supervisor if any symptoms arise.
- Comply with local and site COVID-19 Prevention requirements.
- Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including 3DP issued facial coverings with BFE>95%, whenever in a shared space.
- Practice good hygiene: regularly wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If these are not available, use company provided alcohol-based hand rub with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your face, eyes, food, etc. with unwashed hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently used tools and equipment on a regular basis.
- This includes other elements of the jobsite where possible.
- Employees should regularly do the same in their assigned work areas.
- Maintain at least 6 feet physical distancing while in shared spaces.
- Avoid sharing tools and equipment with co-workers if it can be avoided. If not, disinfect before and after each use.
