Purpose

eCycle Solutions is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all our staff. The severity of illness or how many people will fall ill from infectious acute respiratory illnesses is unknown. If there is evidence of an infectious disease outbreak, eCycle needs to be able to respond in a flexible way to varying levels of severity and be prepared to refine our operations as needed. For the general public, such as workers in non-healthcare settings and where it is unlikely that work tasks create an increased risk of exposures, the immediate health risk is considered low.

Scope

This procedure applies to all eCycle Solutions plants.

Worker’s Responsibility

The workers have the following responsibilities:

Procedure

Each site’s planning department must be kept aware of employees that are unable to come to work due to illness as well as the expected longevity of their absence.

eCycle will use employees from temporary agencies when possible to fill positions.

The planning department will place employees on lines that maximize eCycle’s production capacity, ensuring the employee has sufficient training to complete the tasks expected of them.

In more extreme cases of absenteeism, planning may need to shut down a line or multiple lines to maximize production in other areas. If working 2 shifts, the plant may have to consider temporarily working only 1 shift.

Planning will communicate with Management, Operations and Sales, to identify critical lines based on material supply and customer contracts.

Operations will keep sales appraised of current status of customer material. Sales will in turn notify clients of any issues pertaining to eCycle meeting our contractual commitments.

Office staff may be requested to work from home if a serious bout of illness hits the organization.

Refer to eCycle’s Business Continuity Plan in the extreme event that a facility is unable to maintain adequate operations to meet customer contracts.
