2021 Friday Night Lights
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS COVID-19 RESPONSE PLAN AND PREVENTION PROGRAM
Protecting the health and safety of our staff, coaches, players, parents/guardians, and their families
(together, “Participants”) is foremost during this pandemic. To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect the
safety of our Participants, we are taking steps to ensure that locations where we hold mini-camps, practices,
games, scrimmages, and/or Skills, Drill, and Conditioning (together, “Events”) comply with a very strict set of
protocols and hygiene practices in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
World Health Organization, Cal/OSHA, and Local Health Officer’s Orders and Recommendations. This
Written COVID-19 Response Plan and Prevention Program (“Plan”) summarizes these steps and is available in
the main office and at all Event locations.
As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves on an almost daily basis, we are closely monitoring new
developments and adapting our practices. Anyone with questions about this plan or COVID-19 should direct
inquiries to the FNL Commissioner, Mark Broersma, who is responsible for implementing this Plan.
COVID-19 Coronavirus Overview
What is the “coronavirus” and how is it transmitted?
The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) causes respiratory illness in people and can spread from
person-to-person. According to the CDC, the virus is principally spread person-to-person mainly via respiratory
droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza and other viruses that
cause respiratory illness spread. It may also spread when a person touches a surface or object that has virus
upon it and then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth, or in other ways.
How can you help prevent the spread of the coronavirus in general?
• Avoid contact with people who are sick. If you are sick, stay home and seek medical attention.
• Wash your hands frequently with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water
are not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol.
• Practice physical distancing (at least 6 feet) at all times.
• Wear a cloth face covering whenever you are around other persons. Cloth face coverings are not
personal protective equipment (PPE) and their principal purpose is not to protect the person
wearing the face covering. Rather, they are intended primarily to help protect others around the
wearer. Face coverings do not replace the need for physical distancing and frequent hand
washing. Ensure proper use, removal, and washing of masks, including never sharing them and
avoiding touching them.
• Take simple measures to ensure cough and sneeze etiquette: cover your mouth and nose with a
tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands.
• Routinely clean all frequently-touched surfaces.
What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 14 days after exposure. The most common COVID-19
symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath of difficulty breathing. Other known symptoms can also
include sore throat, fatigue, muscle or body aches, chills, new loss of smell or taste, headaches, congestion or
runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea. A list of up-to-date symptoms is available from the CDC.
What if I am feeling sick but am not sure if I have coronavirus?
If you have any symptoms, no matter how slight, do not participate in any FNL Event or enter any FNL
Event site. Consider seeking medical attention, including COVID-19 testing.
What if I have come in contact with someone who has been exposed to the virus or feels sick?
Do not participate in any FNL Event or enter any FNL Event site without first seeking medical
attention/advice. Consult and follow the advice of healthcare providers or the local public health department
regarding the length of time to stay at home.
What You Can Do to Prevent and Reduce Transmission During FNL Events?
a. Sick Participants should stay home:
• Participants who have any symptoms should notify their coach immediately.
• Sick Participants should follow CDC-recommended steps and should not return to any FNL
Events until the criteria to discontinue home isolation are met, in consultation with their
healthcare providers.
b. Participants who are well but who have a sick family/household member should not participate in or
otherwise attend any FNL Events. They should also notify their coach immediately and follow CDC
recommended precautions.
c. Participants with underlying health conditions that may make them more susceptible to COVID-19
should not participate in or otherwise attend any FNL Events without the prior approval of their
healthcare provider.
d. All Participants must follow the hygiene and social distancing practices recommended by CDC, and
as set forth herein.
What Has FNL Done to Prepare and How You Can Help?
Our COVID-19 Response Plan is intended to follow the CDC’s Guidelines for Youth Sports, the State
of California – Health and Human Services Agency Outdoor and Indoor Youth and Recreational Adult Sports
and Cal/OSHA’s Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19, including the following:
• Enhanced cleaning and sanitation protocols:
o Hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol will be located at the FNL tent at each Event.
o We have provided staff members with necessary supplies, including cleaning products approved
by the EPA for use against COVID-19, to regularly clean their individual work spaces.
o All Participants are reminded to routinely clean any frequently-touched surfaces.
o Equipment sharing will be minimized as much as possible. All equipment that must be shared
will be cleaned and disinfected before and each use. In particular, all footballs will be thoroughly
sanitized before each Event. After each use, footballs must be sanitized again before the next use.
Coaches should visit the FNL tent to have equipment sanitized before each game.
o No shared hydration methods are provided or permitted. Participants are required to bring their
own clean hydration system, such as a well-labeled water bottle, which cannot be shared.
o Participants may not share towels, clothing, or other items used to wipe their faces or hands. As
such, Participants are required to bring their own items for this purpose, which should be easy to
identify before use to avoid accidental sharing.
o Participants’ belongings must be separated from others’ and in individually labeled containers.
o Spitting is not permitted.
• Social distancing protocols tailored to our Events, including limiting attendance, redesigning
activities, and requiring face coverings as outlined below.
o Only immediate household members are permitted to observe FNL Events in person and then
only for the strict purpose of age-appropriate supervision of their player(s). No gathering along
the sidelines or in other areas of the Event site will be permitted – all observers must maintain at
least 6 feet of distance from non-household members at all times.
o Coaches will make regular safety announcements, including encouraging players to use
downtime for individual skill-building work or conditioning, rather than clustering together.
o Unnecessary physical contact, such as high fives, handshakes, or fist bumps, are discouraged.
o Players and coaches are not permitted to enter the Event site early and are required to exit the
Event site immediately after their scheduled Event.
o Players are required to wear face coverings upon arrival and may remove masks only after
reaching their assigned field. Players must resume wearing face coverings before leaving their
assigned field. Face covering must be worm by players when not participating in the activity
(e.g., on the sidelines). Players are encouraged, but not required, to wear face coverings during
practice, conditioning, and during competition, even during heavy exertion as tolerated.
o All other Participants must wear face coverings at all times during Events.
o Participants are discouraged from carpooling, other than with members of their own household.
o Signs will be posted in visible locations that promote every day protective measures and describe
how to stop the spread of germs, such as by properly washing hands and wearing a mask.
• Staff training and symptoms screening: Staff have been provided training, including
understanding COVID-19, preventing its spread, self-screening procedures, the importance of not
coming to work if they have symptoms or live with someone who has or may have COVID-19, when
to seek medical attention, hand washing, coughing and sneezing etiquette, and social distancing. All
staff and coaches are required to undergo symptom screening, including temperature checks, before
participating in any Event.

EMPLOYEE PROTOCOLS
The following portion of the Plan applies only to those Participants who are employed by FNL and are
performing work for FNL outside of their homes.
DEFINITIONS
For ease of reference, we have collected below all defined terms used in this section of the Plan. These terms will be
capitalized whenever used throughout this document.
• COVID-19 means the coronavirus disease, an infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
• COVID-19 Case means any person who:
(1) Has a positive COVID-19 Test;
(2) Is subject to a COVID-19-related order to isolate issued by a local or state health official; or
(3) Has died due to COVID-19, as determined by a local health department or per inclusion in the COVID-19
statistics of a county.
However, such a person is no longer a COVID-19 Case when a licensed health care professional determines that
they do not have COVID-19, in accordance with recommendations made by the California Department of Public
Health or the local health department pursuant to authority granted under the Health and Safety Code or title 17 of
the California Code of Regulations.
• COVID-19 Exposure means being within six (6) feet of a COVID-19 Case for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or
greater in any 24-hour period within or overlapping with the High-Risk Exposure Period.
• COVID-19 Hazard means exposure to potentially infectious material that may contain SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that
causes COVID-19). Such materials include, but are not limited to, objects or surfaces that may be contaminated
with the virus, or airborne droplets, small particle aerosols, and airborne droplet nuclei, which most commonly
result from a person or persons exhaling, talking or vocalizing, coughing, sneezing, or procedures performed on
persons – which may aerosolize saliva or respiratory tract fluids, among other things.
• COVID-19 Symptom(s) means fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, chills, cough, shortness of breath or
difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste and/or smell, sore throat, congestion
or runny nose, nausea and/or vomiting, or diarrhea, unless a licensed healthcare professional determines such
symptoms were caused by a known condition other than COVID-19.
• COVID-19 Test means a viral test for SARS-CoV-2 that is (1) approved by the United States Food and Drug
Administration or has an Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA to diagnose current infection with the virus;
and (2) administered in accordance with that approval/authorization.
• High Risk Exposure Period means the following time period:
o For persons who develop COVID-19 Symptoms, from two days before they first developed symptoms until 10
days after symptoms first appeared, and 24 hours have passed with no fever, without the use of fever-reducing
medications, and symptoms have improved; or
o For persons who tested positive but never develop COVID-19 Symptoms, from two days before until ten days
after the specimen for their first positive test for COVID-19 was collected.
SICK EMPLOYEES ARE DIRECTED TO STAY HOME
• Employees displaying or reporting symptoms (i.e., fever, cough, or shortness of breath) should stay home or, if
already at work, go home. Employees will not be permitted to return to work until the criteria to discontinue home
isolation are met, in consultation with healthcare providers and state and local health departments.
• Employees who are well but who have a sick family member at home with COVID-19 are directed to follow CDC
recommended precautions.
RESPONDING TO COVID-19 CASES
Through implementation of this Plan, we will respond effectively and immediately to individuals at the workplace who
are a COVID-19 Case to prevent and/or reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 in our workplaces.
Potential COVID-19 Cases in the workplace will be investigated to ensure an appropriate response. This includes
verifying COVID-19 Case status through receipt of information regarding COVID-19 Test results and/or onset of
COVID-19 symptoms, and identifying and recording substantiated COVID-19 Cases.
When there is a confirmed COVID-19 Case at a place of employment, we will take the following steps:
1. Determine the day and time the COVID-19 Case was last present and, to the extent possible, the date of the
positive COVID-19 Test(s) and/or diagnosis, and the date the COVID-19 Case first had one or more COVID-19
Symptoms (if any were experienced).
2. Determine who may have had a COVID-19 Exposure by evaluating the activities of the COVID-19 Case and all
locations at the workplace which may have been visited by the COVID-19 Case during the High-Risk Exposure
Period.
3. To limit transmission of COVID-19 in the workplace, exclude employees with COVID-19 Exposure as follows:
a. Ensure that COVID-19 Cases are excluded from the workplace until the following return to work
requirements are met:
i. COVID-19 Cases with COVID-19 Symptoms shall not return to work until:
1. At least 24 hours have passed since a fever of 100.4 or higher has resolved without the
use of fever-reducing medications;
2. COVID-19 Symptoms have improved; AND
3. At least 10 days have passed since COVID-19 Symptoms first appeared.
ii. COVID-19 Cases who tested positive but never developed COVID-19 Symptoms shall not return
to work until a minimum of 10 days have passed since the date of specimen collection of their
first positive COVID-19 Test.
iii. Employees ordered by a local or state health official to isolate or quarantine shall not return to
work until the period of isolation or quarantine is complete or the order is lifted. If no period is
specified, then the period shall be 10 days from the time an isolation order is effective or 14 days
from the time a quarantine order is effective.
b. Exclude employees with COVID-19 Exposure from the workplace for 14 days after the last known
COVID-19 Exposure to a COVID-19 Case.
c. Continue and maintain the earnings, seniority, and other rights and benefits of excluded employees who
are otherwise able and available to work as if the employee had not been removed from their job. When
not covered by workers’ compensation, this may be done through the use of paid sick leave benefits and
benefits from public sources, where permitted by law. Information on these benefits will be provided to
excluded employees at the time of exclusion. This section does not apply when the COVID-19 Exposure
is not work-related.
Exception: Employees who have not been excluded or isolated by the local health department may be permitted
to continue working if a temporary assignment is available for work where the employees do not have contact
with other persons until the return-to-work requirements (above) are met.
4. Within one business day, give appropriate notice of the potential COVID-19 Exposure to all employees who may
have had COVID-19 Exposure (and their authorized representatives, if any) and independent contractors and
other employers present at the workplace during the High-Risk Exposure Period. Notice will be given in a way
that does not reveal personal identifying information of the COVID-19 Case.
5. Offer COVID-19 testing (at no cost to employees) during working hours to all employees who had potential
COVID-19 Exposure in the workplace and provide them information on COVID-19-related benefits to which
they may be entitled by law or as excluded employees.
6. Investigate whether any workplace conditions could have contributed to the risk of COVID-19 exposure and
what, if anything, could be done to reduce exposure to COVID-19 Hazards.
Employees’ personal identifying information and medical records shall be kept confidential except as otherwise required
by applicable law.
Outbreaks. If a local health department identifies a place of employment as the location of a COVID-19 Outbreak or if
there are three or more COVID-19 Cases in an exposed workplace within a 14-day period, we will take the following
additional steps in response:
• Provide COVID-19 testing to all employees at the exposed workplace (except those who were not present during
the period of the Outbreak). Such testing will be provided during working hours and at no cost to employees. All
covered employees will be provided two tests, each one week apart. Employees who remain at the workplace, if
any, will also be provided continuous testing at least once per week during the Outbreak period.
• COVID-19 Cases and employees who had COVID-19 Exposure will be excluded from the workplace, subject to the
return-to-work protocols above.
• Immediately perform a review of potentially-relevant COVID-19 policies, procedures, and controls and implement
changes as needed to prevent further spread of COVID-19. This investigation and review shall be documented and
include:
o Investigation of new or unabated COVID-19 Hazards, including leave policies and practices and whether
employees are discouraged from remaining home when sick, COVID-19 testing policies, sufficiency of
outdoor air, sufficiency of air filtration, and physical distancing.
o The review shall be updated every 30 days that the Outbreak continues, in response to new information or to
new or previously unrecognized COVID-19 Hazards, or when otherwise necessary.
o We will implement changes to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 based on the investigation and review. If
applicable, we will consider moving indoor tasks outdoors or having them performance remotely, increasing
air supply when work is done indoors, improving air filtration, increasing physical distancing as much as
possible, respiratory protection, and other applicable controls.
• Contact the local health department immediately (but not longer than 48 hours after we know, or with diligent
inquiry would have known, of three of more COVID-19 Cases) for guidance on preventing the further spread of
COVID-19 within the workplace.
• Provide the local health department the total number of COVID-19 Cases and, for each COVID-19 Case, the name,
contact information, occupation, workplace location, business address, hospitalization and/or fatality status, and
North American Industry Classification System code of the workplace of the COVID-19 Case, and any other
information requested by the local health department.
• Continue to give notice to the local health department of any subsequent COVID-19 Cases at the workplace.
• Effective January 1, 2021, provide all information to the local health department required by Labor Code section
6409.6.
Major Outbreaks. If any place of employment has 20 or more COVID-19 Cases in an exposed workplace within 30-day
period, we will take the following additional safety measures:
• Provide COVID-19 testing twice a week (or more frequently, if recommended by the local health department) to all
employees present at the exposed workplace during the relevant 30-day period and who remain at the workplace.
Such testing will be provided during working hours and at no costs to employees.
• Exclude COVID-19 Cases and employees with COVID-19 exposure from the workplace as required by law or local
health department orders.
• Investigate COVID-19 workplace illness and engage in hazard correction.
• In buildings or structures with mechanical ventilation, filter recirculated air with Minimum Efficiency Report Value
13 or higher efficiency filters (if compatible with the ventilation system). If not compatible, use filters with the
highest compatible filtering efficiency. Evaluate whether portable or mounted High Efficiency Particulate Air
filtration units, or other air cleaning systems, would reduce the risk of transmission and implement their use to the
degree feasible.
• Determine the need for respiratory protection program or changes to existing program to address COVID-19
Hazards.
• Evaluate whether to halt some or all operations at the workplace until COVID-19 Hazards have been corrected.
• Take any other control measures deemed necessary by the Division through the issuance of a valid Order to Take
Special Action.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION
We have provided, and will continue to provide, employees effective training and instruction, through written guidance,
safety meeting presentations, and verbal/written reminders, that includes at least the following:
1. Our COVID-19 policies and procedures to protect employees from COVID-19 Hazards.
2. Information regarding COVID-19-related benefits to which our employee may be entitled under applicable
federal, state, or local laws, such as those under workers’ compensation law, the federal Families First
Coronavirus Response Act, Labor Code sections 248.1, 248.5, and 3212.86 through 3212.88, local governmental
requirements, our own leave policies, and any contractual leave rights that may apply.
3. The fact that COVID-19 is an infectious disease that can be spread through the air when an infectious person talks
or vocalizes, sneezes, coughs, or exhales; that COVID-19 may be transmitted when a person touches a
contaminated object and then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth (although that is less common), and that an
infectious person may have no symptoms.
4. Methods of physical distancing of at least six feet and the importance of combining physical distancing with the
wearing of face coverings.
5. The fact that particles containing the virus can travel more than six feet, especially indoors, so physical distancing
must be combined with other controls, including face coverings and hand hygiene, to be effective.
6. The importance of frequent hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and using hard sanitizer
when employees do not have immediate access to a sink or other appropriate hand washing facility, and that hand
sanitizer does not work if the hands are soiled.
7. Proper use of face coverings and the fact that face coverings are not respiratory protective equipment.
8. COVID-19 symptoms, and the importance of not coming to work and obtaining a COVID-19 Test if the
employee has COVID-19 symptoms.
MITIGATION MEASURES AT EVENT SITES
We are making arrangements to ensure that all Company Events provide access to hand washing stations and employees
are cleaning and disinfecting frequently-touched objects and surfaces and common areas.
We are limiting the size of gatherings and eliminating large group meetings. All meetings and work should take place in
spaces that allow for social distancing between meeting workers and attendees.
Hazard Identification and Correction
We have incorporated COVID-19 transmission and prevention into all job hazard analyses (“JHA”s) and pre-task safety
planning for all aspects of the work, including workplace-specific identification of all interactions, areas, activities,
processes, equipment, and materials that could potentially expose employees to COVID-19 Hazards. We will continually
evaluate the specific hazards at Event sites along with CDC recommendations to determine the most appropriate job
hazard analysis for the project/task as it relates to the spread and/or transmission of COVID-19. Employees are
encouraged to participate in the identification and evaluation of COVID-19 Hazards;
Specifically, this process shall include at least the following at each workplace, including Event sites:
1. Identification of places and times when people may congregate or come in contact with one another, regardless of
whether employees are performing an assigned work task – for instance, during meetings or trainings – and
including in and around entrances, rest rooms, hallways, aisles, walkways, elevators, break and/or eating areas,
cool-down areas, and waiting areas;
2. Evaluation of employees’ potential workplace exposure to all persons at the workplace or who may enter the
workplace, including coworkers, employees of other entities, members of the public (including Participants), and
independent contractors. In addition to addressing fixed work locations, consider how employees and others enter,
leave, and travel through the workplace; and
3. Conducting periodic inspections as needed to identify unhealthy conditions, work practices, and work procedures
related to COVID-19 and to ensure compliance with our COVID-19 policies and practices.
We have also implemented effective policies and procedures for correcting unsafe or unhealthy condi tions, work
practices, policies, and procedures once identified. These corrections will be made in a timely manner based upon the
severity of the particular hazard.
Employee’s Personal Responsibilities
• Employees need to take steps to protect themselves.
• If employees have any COVID-19 Symptom(s), they must report this to their supervisor, stay home, and not come
to work until free of symptoms as recommended by the CDC.
• All employees must also report to their supervisor any possible COVID-19 Exposures and possible COVID-19
Hazards in the workplace.
• Employees can make these reports without fear of reprisal, as there will be no retaliation against employees for
reporting symptoms, exposures, or hazards in compliance with this Plan.
Social Distancing
Limit physical contact with others. Increase personal space (to at least 6 feet, wherever possible). When it is not possible
to maintain a distance of at least six feet, remain as far apart as possible. When possible, limit face-to-face meetings and
replace them with phone or online meetings.
Take breaks in shifts (within the lime limits required by law) to reduce the size of the group in break areas at any time.
Follow all visual cues (such as signs and floor markings) that indicate where employees or others should be located or
their direction and path of travel.
General Event Site / Office Practices
• If an employee is confirmed to have COVID-19, inform fellow employees of possible exposure to COVID-19 in
the workplace, but maintain confidentiality as required by the Americans With Disabilities Act. Ask the affected
employee to identify those other employees with whom they came into contact before the employee departs.
Employees who worked in close proximity (3 to 6 feet) to a coworker with confirmed COVID-19 should also be
sent home and referred to CDC guidance for how to conduct a risk assessment.
• For indoor locations, we will evaluate how to maximize the quantity of outdoor air and whether it is possible to
increase filtration efficiency to the highest level compatible with the existing ventilation system.
• At fixed work locations where it is not possible to maintain physical distancing requirements at all times, we will
install cleanable solid partitions that effectively reduce aerosol transmission between the employee and others.
• For buildings with mechanical or natural ventilation, or both, we will maximize the quantity of outside air
provided to the extent feasible, except when the EPA Air Quality Index is greater than 100 for any pollutant or
when opening windows or letting in outdoor air by other means would cause a hazard to employees (for instance
from excessive heat or cold).
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Face Coverings
We will evaluate the need for PPE (such as gloves, goggles, and face shields) to prevent exposure to COVID-19 Hazards
and provide such PPE as needed. Without limiting the foregoing, we will provide and ensure the use of eye protection and
respiratory protection in accordance with Labor Code section 5144 when employees are exposed to procedures that may
aerosolize potentially infectious material, such as saliva or respiratory tract fluids.
Face coverings. Face coverings will be provided and must be worn by employees over the nose and mouth at all times
(subject to the following exceptions) when indoors, when outdoors and less than six feet away from another person, and
when otherwise required by orders from the California Department of Public Health or local health department. Face
coverings must be clean and undamaged and may not be shared.
• Exceptions: The following are exceptions to the foregoing face coverings requirement:
o When the employee is alone in a room;
o While actively eating and drinking in the workplace, so long as employees are at least six feet apart and
outside air supply to the area (if indoors) has been maximized to the extent possible.
o When employees are wearing respiratory protection in accordance with Labor Code section 5144 or other
Title 8 Safety Orders.
o When an employee cannot wear a face covering due to a medical or mental health condition or disability.
Employees exempted from the face coverings requirement for this reason shall wear an effective non-
restrictive alternative, such as a face shield with a drape on the bottom, to the greatest extent permitted by
their condition/disability. As such, employees requesting this accommodation should be prepared to discuss
with us which alternatives may be reasonable.
o When an employee is hearing-impaired or is communicating with a hearing-impaired person.
o When the employee is performing a specific work task which cannot feasibly be performed with a face
covering. This exception applies only to the time period in which such tasks are actually being performed.
• Any employee not wearing a face covering, face shield with a drape or other effective alternative, or respiratory
protection, for any reason, must remain at least six feet apart from all other persons.
• Face shields are not a replacement for face covering, although they may be worn together for additional
protection.
• We will never prevent an employee from wearing a face covering when not otherwise required by this Plan unless
doing so would create a safety hazard (such as interfering with the safe operation of equipment).
• We will develop COVID-19 policies and procedures to minimize employee exposure to COVID-19 hazards
originating from any person not wearing a face covering (including a member of the public) at their workplace.
Without limiting the foregoing, we will use signs and similar measures to communicate to non-employees the face
coverings requirements applicable on our premises.
• We will clean and disinfect all areas, materials, and equipment known to be used by a COVID-19 Case during the
High-Risk Exposure Period.
RECORDKEEPING
In accordance with applicable legal requirements, we will keep records and make reports related to COVID-19 Cases and
COVID-19 Exposures. Specifically, we will:
• Report information about COVID-19 Cases at our workplaces to, and comply with related information requests
from, the local health department whenever required by law.
• Report immediately to the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (“Division”) any COVID-19-related serious
illnesses or death, as defined by applicable law, of an employee occurring in a place of employ ment or in
connection with employment.
• Maintain records of the steps taken to implement this Plan.
• Make this Plan available at the workplace to employees, authorized employee representatives, and to representatives
of the Division immediately upon request.
• Keep a record of and track all COVID-19 Cases with theemployee’s name, contact information, occupation,
location worked, last day at the workplace, and date of positive COVID-19 Test. Medical information shall be kept
confidential in accordance with applicable legal requirements. This record (with personal identifying information
removed) shall be made available to employee, authorized employee representatives, or as otherwise required by
law.
EMPLOYEE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
Employees are responsible for reading, asking any questions necessary to understand, and complying with all aspects of
the Plan. The following is only a helpful summary of, not a replacement of, key employee obligations under that Plan.
• Employees are encouraged to participate in the identification and evaluation of potential COVID-19 hazards. If
you wish to participate, please contact Mark Broersma.
• You should report any COVID-19 symptoms, possible exposures, or possible hazards to your supervisor
immediately and without fear of reprisal.
• If you have a medical or other condition that puts you at an increased risk of severe COVID-19 illness, please
inform Mark Broersma right away. We will meet with you (virtually where practicable) to discuss
accommodations that may be made for your specific situation.
• The COVID-19 testing site closest to our main office is CVS Health located at 3401 Katella Avenue, Los
Alamitos, California 9072. Updated information about testing locations, including hours and appointment
requirements (if any) can be found at https://covid19.ca.gov/get-tested/. If you need help locating a site close to
your specific work location, home, or other location, please contact Mark Broersma.
• Wear face coverings at all required times. If you believe an exemption may apply, you must confirm with your
supervisor before working without a face covering.
• Maintain social distancing to the greatest extent possible at all times in the workplace.
