Business Entrances
How to Make Entrances Safe & Welcoming During the COVID-19 Pandemic
✓ See Our Room Supply Checklist
Whether it's the main entrance for your customers or a side entrance for employees, the entryways for your business set the tone for what everyone can expect as they cross the threshold.
Our recommendations can be used to inform your COVID-19 master plan, and help you figure out how to best implement OSHA's recommended administrative and engineering controls. For state-specific rules and guidance, visit our COVID-19 Resources for Each State page, where we provide links to every state's coronavirus website.
Don't |
Do |
Allow crowds inside or outside your entrance(s) to ensure your business is helping mitigate the spread. |
|
Forget to disinfect the inside and outside of your entrance/exit door(s). |
You may think entrances can't harbor germs, but they can be one of the most hazardous areas in your business because of the frequently touched surfaces.
|
Assume customers and employees know or remember your new policies and procedures. |
|
Forget about facemasks and hand sanitizer. |
|
We understand that change is difficult, but by taking the time to create a healthy space, you're also creating a safe space that your customers will want to visit.
Please keep in mind that the status of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recommendations from local, state, and federal officials continue to change.
