The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Safety and Health Department have created a Coronavirus Fact Sheet which contains useful information and safety measures to assist you in worker protection, including a checklist to help take steps to plan and protect the health and safety of your staff, colleagues and family.
This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. This fact sheet will be updated as needed.
