COVID-19 RESOURCES
As COVID-19 challenges continue, we have created this page to serve as a one stop spot for all things related to the pandemic and how it impacts your business. Below you will find reference to our CRMCA Blog, Online Education & Training Opportunities, Partner Links and access to our private LinkedIn Group.
We know many of you are still fully operational and we have heard of very few slow downs or project cancellations to this point. We know this is likely to change in the coming weeks and want to ensure we take extra steps now to prepare for the future. As you know, our industry is known for taking safety very seriously and social distancing is already in place on many of your job sites, etc. We urge you all to continue to implement these practices with a heightened focus on sanitization, limiting areas of congregation on site including break rooms, snack areas, as well as not sharing tools, etc. As many of the city/county inspection and permitting offices are seeing modifications it is imperative that we continue to make them feel safe and protected on our sites. Please inform all employees of this and discuss internally what you can do to ensure these services remain open and active in your markets.
