13. Get-Back-To-Work Resources for Roasters

@lineacaffe and Pinhole Coffee in San Francisco

• What are the new OSHA requirements as I re-open?
• What is HR best practice for messaging and managing bringing employees back from stay-home work or non-work?
• Can anyone help me find PPE supplies?

If you're a roasting company considering opening soon, these are critical and important questions. Check out this new page on the Small Biz Assoc. of Michigan (SBAM) website with many answers and resources:  CLICK HERE. At least in Michigan, a documented "preparedness and response plan" is part of the governor's latest executive order. SBAM believes having this written plan is a good idea. In addition, they recommend writing a communication plan for messaging you will give to both employees and customers.

Also, do not wait until the day before! Start preparing now, so that lack of supplies, facility changes or staff do not hinder you opening by even one day! People need your coffee!!

No longer allowed! Even for take-out, baristas need masks!

Especially challenging is the question of health screening employees as they come back to work. This topic is addressed also on SBAM's page, (click here, then scroll down a bit).
