corona virus and work.

recycled rubber factory make all sorts of rubber products out of recycled rubber. some is for agriculture some for retail ,rubber matting for childcare centers playgrounds and many more different uses for rubber.

so no chance of working form home then.....

as long as the 2m rule can be applied I imagine you'd be stoked to be heading back to work?

yeah the 2 m rule should be easy i grade the rubber in a shed next to the main factory so will just be avoiding the smoko area and not going into the factory, toilets are only part i am worried about so will be doing my best not to use them.

i have been enjoying staying at home and spending more time with my partner than i have for years so my answer is yes and no about going back to work.

You have a much better bladder than me then :)

Man needs a piss jug.

Same. Back for 3 days next week then reassessing after that.

good luck with that hope it goes well.

i am feeling a little nervous today, i know there is a small risk but it is still a risk. still have no idea what works health and safety plan is and have had no contact from them to give me an idea of what to expect or any procedures i have to follow.

Some things will change for us (no congregating in smoko room, marketing + sales teams working from home etc) but else should be pretty straight forward for the actual workers ?.

I will have no problems distancing myself in my warehouse. Pretty sure my staff will keep their distance from me too ?.

Biggest concern for us is how many of our customer base are ready and able to trade. Suspect it will be quite low.

Fudge me. Since I posted this we have been pumping! Feel like the last 7 months have been some of the busiest I have ever worked. Christmas break cannot arrive soon enough!!!

Question. If you receive mail or parcels from areas like the US of A, do you run the risk of importing  the virus? I know it can stay on firm surfaces what what about all the international mail?

Actually, I might have found the answer here: Mail I'm expecting some Music CD's from the states.

I got some supplements and T-shirts over the last 2-3 months and so far I haven't caught it :p

It only lives on surfaces for a few days I think your risk is pretty low.

It's been detected imported in cool stores overseas so there may be a risk if you're buying frozen stuff but I still think the risk is negligible.

Where you can catch it is if you're sharing surfaces directly with people who have it, like elevator buttons, door handles, petrol pumps, etc. but you're not going to import it.

Thank you guys!
