Masks and face shields
Wearing a mask or face shield is required when in any indoor space at Hi Pro Coatings. Signage is posted at all entrances of the building to alert every person entering. All employees must acknowledge that they have received training on mask and face shield protocols. Masks, sanitizer, and gloves are provided to employees and clients if they do not have their own masks for entry.
Hand Sanitizer
Hand Sanitizer is available for employees and clients at the entrance & exit.
Sanitization Protocols
- Powered equipment: after each use and at the beginning and end of each shift
- Bathrooms: every 4 hours
- Office: door handles, front desk, coffee machine, plexiglass, POS machine, phones, office supplies (including pens, calculators, staplers) after entry of any client into the office and every 4 hours

Workplace/Employee Policies
We implemented changes to our workplace operational policies including, the steps to be taken if an illness arises at the workplace, asking recommended screening questions and optional temperature screens for our employees and clients prior to entry.
