Trends and Insights from the Safe & Effective Operations Workshop
Hello Everyone
Here are some of the trends that came up around Safe Operations from the discussions held during the Safe & Effective Shop Operations Workshop held on June 12th. These came from over twenty different organizations across the United States, Canada, and Australia.
This is just one part of what was discussed. Stay tuned as there are still info around Volunteer Management, Capacity for Providing Purposes to come, and more.
*SAFE OPERATIONS *
BUSINESS SHIFTS - Online sales & Instruction - Pricing changes - Rethinking of business models
IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE - Making shops mobile
PEOPLE MANAGEMENT - Utilizing appointment systems - Focusing more on the local community - Fewer people coming to the shop - Some shops need more staff to meet demand
SAFETY PRACTICES - Some shops are working with health officials to build best practices - Protocols for prioritizing individual and group health - Enhanced clean-up & disinfection practices - Rethinking airflow (HVAC, fans, swamp coolers) - Personal protective equipment (gloves & masks) - Distancing - Some shops are not allowing customers inside
*INSIGHTS*
- Organizations are going to need an online component to stay relevant
- Organizations without a clear vision to fall back are going to suffer
harder
- Re-opening as business-as-usual is going to lead to virus spread
That's all for now. Hope everyone is healthy.
All the best,
Thanks for organizing the workshop, it was nice to chat with folks from other places and hear so many clever and thoughtful ideas. Here at BICAS we were fortunate to have a personal connection with a public health scientist. She told us all kinds of great stuff, but one of the best pieces of advice she gave us was to go back to the OSHA "Hierarchy of Controls." This is a tool that is meant to be used for all sorts of workplace risk management scenarios, but in this context she recommended using it to assess our current practices and areas of possible improvement for COVID. I put some links and our graphic below in case anyone finds them helpful! Sincerely, ~Carlyn --
