Hunt's COVID-19 Response Plan

UPDATED 7/15/22 - The world health community continues to monitor the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the emergence of its variants, and the disease it causes. The virus, named “corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19)” has already had a tremendous impact on our daily lives, including
the way we conduct business at Hunt Electric Corporation. Hunt is committed to the protection of our employees, trade partners and the communities in which we do business.

This continually updated plan describes the measures Hunt Electric, along with its subsidiaries ECSI, ARS and Power Solutions are taking to preserve the continuity of operations. Managers and employees are all responsible for implementing and complying
with all aspects of this plan. Our goal is to mitigate the potential for transmission of COVID-19 in our work locations, and that requires full cooperation among employees and management. Only through this cooperative effort can we establish and maintain the safety and health of our employees and workplaces. Hunt managers and supervisors have our full support in enforcing the provisions of this policy. We are serious about safety and health and keeping our employees working at Hunt. Worker involvement is essential in developing and implementing a successful COVID-19 Response Plan.  We have implemented a COVID-19 Response Team which is meeting regularly to monitor the rapidly changing situation, including the current recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) and State Departments of Health. Our Response Plan follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and
Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines and Federal OSHA standards related to COVID-19 and addresses:

• Communications and training that will be provided to managers and employees
• Prompt identification and isolation of sick persons
• Promotion of vaccination as a means of disease prevention
• Hygiene, respiratory etiquette and personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Housekeeping – cleaning, disinfecting and decontamination
• Engineering and administrative controls used to achieve social distancing
• Management and supervision necessary to ensure effective implementation of the plan

The following general measures are designed to both protect personnel and contain the spread of COVID-19. Everyone’s compliance and participation in these measures is expected. Containing the spread of this disease is essential to avoid the overtaxing of medical facilities and the associated personal tragedies that have occurred worldwide.

COVID-19 Symptoms
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties, chills, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting or, diarrhea. In more severe cases infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

Disease Transmission and Risk Factors
COVID-19 is transmissible by respiratory secretions such as saliva or mucus. Infected individuals can spread it by introducing the virus into the air, which can then be inhaled by other individuals nearby. There is also concern that COVID-19 may be transmitted by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. For these reasons, people are advised to cover their cough, wash their hands, and disinfect frequently touched surfaces to prevent transmission of the disease.
Hunt will make every effort to promote and provide the necessary resources for a safe work environment. This requires employees and their close contacts to hold themselves accountable to practicing the CDC’s recommended guidelines for prevention and avoidance not only at work, but also during non-work time. These measures include practicing social distancing, washing hands, wearing the recommended PPE when in public and practicing good hygiene at home. COVID-19 is a contagious virus and our organizational safety depends on individual accountability for taking the necessary preventive measures both on and off the job to ensure the safety of all employees.

Communications and Training
This Response Plan will be communicated by email to all employees and necessary training will be provided prior to returning managers and employees to any closed work location. Additional communication and training will be ongoing via Teams meetings and emails provided to all employees who did not receive the initial training. Furthermore, this COVID-19 Response Plan shall be posted at all work sites and reviewed by all workers. Managers and supervisors are to monitor how effective the program has been implemented by notifying the COVID-19 Response Team as new information or questions come up. Management and employees are to work through this new program together and update the training as necessary. This Response Plan has been approved by Hunt management and was posted throughout the workplace. It will be updated as necessary. Hunt will utilize of a variety of communication methods to keep employees informed of changing requirements. When serving as prime contractor, all subcontractors must submit their COVID-19 Response plan to Hunt Electric.

Vaccinations
Vaccines to protect employees from COBID-19 are now available from Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson/Janssen.  Each assists the development of antibodies to allow an individual to avoid contracting the disease when exposed.  Public health officials encourage vaccination as the most effective method to preventing death, serious disease and transmission of COVID-19. A person is considered fully vaccinated 14 days after the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or 14 days after the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine.

Employees who have been fully vaccinated have been encouraged to submit a photo of both sides of their CDC COVID-19 vaccination record card to HEC-VAC@huntelec.com.  These records will be kept in a secure file location accessible only to Human Resources, Safety, and Manpower Coordinators.

Vaccine and Testing Mandates
Federal OSHA published the Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) for COVID-19 vaccination, testing, and face coverings in the Federal Register on November 5, 2021.The ETS was issued in part in response to state and local laws prohibiting vaccine and face covering mandates. As a result, the rule immediately faced court challenges in several jurisdictions.  On December 17, 2021, the Sixth Circuit lifted the Fifth Circuit stay of the OSHA ETS on Covid-19 vaccination and testing for employers with at least 100 employees.  By January 10, 2022, Hunt is required to have a roster of all current employees identifying which employees are fully vaccinated.  By January 10, 2022, those employees that are not fully vaccinated are required to, by OSHA, wear a mask.  On February 9, 2022, those employees who are not fully vaccinated are required to comply with the testing requirements of the ETS and/or their respective CBA and Hunt is required to collect and maintain the testing records.

In their efforts to protect their employees and other business interests, some of Hunt's customers have implemented vaccine requirements for contractor employees working at their facilities.  Other Hunt customers are required to comply with state and federal mandates to require vaccination or periodic testing for contractor employees working in their government funded projects.

In order to work on a site with a customer specific vaccine (or other immunization) or testing requirement, Hunt will require proof of an employee's vaccinated status to permit them access to the site.  The actual record submitted to Hunt by the employee to prove their vaccination status will be treated as confidential medical information and will never be provided to a customer or third party.  Unless required by the customer, Hunt will not provide the list of names of Hunt employees authorized but instead will attest  to the fact that Hunt employees at their work location are compliant with the customer vaccination and testing policy.  That attestation will take the form of a letter or email stating that we comply with their policy.  Vaccination and testing records will remain available for customer audit by appointment at our Bloomington, Minnesota headquarters.

Hunt/ECSI will monitor site vaccine and testing requirements and staff them with employees who meet each customer's requirements.  Employees who do not meet the vaccination requirements for any work location will be transferred to a site with no vaccine requirement when available. When transferring employees to another location, no one should mention the reason why, but instead merely indicate when they will no longer be on site.

Any attempt to falsify a medical record in order to gain access to any work location will be grounds for discipline up o and including termination.

Visitor and Employee Screening
Employees have been informed of and encouraged to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. The following screening questionnaire was implemented to assess employees’ health status prior to entering the work location and for employees to report when they are sick or experiencing symptoms. In addition to limiting outside visitors from work locations, all employees must check-in and complete a health screening before being allowed at any work location. In addition, any employee absent from work for any reason (excluding weekends) are asked to complete the online screening questionnaire using one of the following links. (Field employee link) - https://tinyurl.com/HEC-COVID-19-Screen. All field employees will also complete a verbal health screening at the start of each workday. Office employees are to complete the Bloomington Office Screening Questionnaire. The screening will follow CDC recommendations and ask the following questions:

1. Have you been diagnosed with COVID-19?
2. Are you currently or have you in the past 14 days experienced fever (100.4oF or higher) without using fever reducing medication, coughing, shortness of breath, chills, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, that you cannot attribute to another health condition diagnosed by a physician?
3. Have you traveled internationally, been on a cruise in the last 14 days?
4. In the last 14 days, have you been in close contact* (see below for definition) with anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19?
5. In the last 14 days, have you been in close contact* (see below for definition) with anyone who is experiencing symptoms and may have COVID-19 but is yet to be confirmed as a positive?

*Definitions
Close contact:

• Being within approximately 6 feet (2 meters) of a COVID-19 case or potential case for a prolonged (15 consecutive minutes or more) period of time; close contact can occur while caring for, living with, working with, visiting, or sharing a healthcare waiting area or room with a COVID-19 case or potential case OR
• Having direct contact with infectious secretions of a COVID-19 case or potential case (e.g. being coughed or sneezed on)

If the person answers yes to any of the questions above, their access to all work locations is prohibited until a member of the COVID-19 Response Team reviews their response and contacts them to discuss their return to work. If the response team determines the person must quarantine for a period of time, they will again need to complete the screening questionnaire prior to returning to a work location. Hunt has informed employees to stay home if they are sick and will intervene with those who display symptoms at work. Hunt also promotes having employees stay at home when household members are sick, or when required by a health care provider to isolate or quarantine themselves or a member of their household. A doctor’s note is not required to validate sick time or illness.

Employees who have been confirmed to have COVID-19 are to report their diagnosis to their supervisor. Upon notice of a confirmed case of an employee, close contact of an employee or a trade partner contact, Hunt has implemented a plan for identifying and informing employees if they have been exposed to a person with a confirmed COVID-19 case at their work location. If potential exposure is confirmed, the employee with a confirmed positive and potentially exposed employee(s) will be discretely informed and may be required to quarantine.  Employees who have received a COVID-19 vaccination or previous diagnosis shall inform the Response Team as it may impact their quarantine requirement. The privacy of employees’ health status and health information will be kept confidential.

Employees with underlying medical conditions of themselves or household members or those seeking accommodations should contact Megan Clyne (office employees) or Russ Ellis (field employees). Employees who are quarantined or absent from work may request paid time away as permitted by their applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement and/or Employee Handbook and Policies.

Classifying Worker Exposure to COVID-19
The work-related risk to individual employees from Very High, High, Medium and Lower Risk depending on their need to interact with others within 6 feet of people who are known to be or are suspected of being infected with the COVID-19 virus. The requirement for repeated or prolonged contact with infected persons would elevate the risk to the highest levels. By practicing proper hygiene, sanitation and social distancing the risk to most Hunt employees is categorized as Lower Risk. Hunt Electric encourages employees who are more vulnerable to a severe illness, and/or caring for a vulnerable individual to self-identify and remove themselves from the worksite.

Very High Exposure Risk
These are primarily reserved for healthcare personnel during specific medical, post mortem or laboratory procedures. These include:
• Healthcare workers (doctors, nurses, dentists, paramedics, emergency medical technicians) performing aerosolized procedures on COVID-19 positive individuals.
• Healthcare or laboratory personnel handling or manipulating specimens from COVID-19 positive patients.
• Morgue workers preforming autopsies on people known to have contacted COVID-19.

No one at Hunt would be in this Very High Exposure Risk category.

High Exposure Risk
These are jobs with high potential for exposure to known or suspected sources of COVID-19. Personnel typically included in this category include:
• Healthcare delivery and support staff (doctors, nurses, technicians and other staff) who must enter patient rooms of those who are known or presumed to be COVID-19 positive.
• Medical transport workers (ambulance crews) who must transport known or suspected COVID-19 positive persons.
• Mortuary workers preparing the bodies of persons known or presumed to have had COVID-19.

While it is possible that Hunt personnel working at a hospital would need to enter a patient room to perform electrical work, it would be a rare circumstance. Outside of our hospital maintenance electricians, no one at Hunt would be in this exposure category.

People with High, or Very High Exposure Risk require a lot of control measures to ensure their health and safety. These include:
• Work needs to be performed in an isolation room that has its own air supply and exhaust and maintains a negative air pressure relative to surrounding areas.
• Where isolation rooms are unavailable, or as an additional precaution, certain hazardous procedures can be performed in a ventilated enclosure to isolate and remove aerosols.
• Utilize very specific and vigorous sanitizing and disinfecting procedures.
• Use PPE including gloves, gown, face shield, and respiratory protection.

Medium Exposure Risk
Personnel in this risk category would include those that require frequent and/or close contact (within 6 feet for 10 minutes or more) who may be infected with COVID-19, but are not known to be, or suspected COVID-19 patients.
• This would include workers in transportation hubs with exposure to people arriving from domestic or international locations with greater community transmission than the work location.
• Staff in educational institutions, high population density work environments and high-volume retail sales.

While some of our jobsites and work locations may approach the Medium Exposure Risk category due to the large numbers of people present, most Hunt employees do not deal with the general public which is generally required for the exposure to be considered medium.

Measures to protect employees in this hazard category include the erection of plastic sneeze barriers or the use of a face mask or respirator, face shield, safety glass or goggle.

Lower Exposure Risk
These jobs do not require contact with persons know to be, or suspected of being infected with COVID-19, nor with frequent close contact with the general public. Employees in this category generally have minimal contact with the general public and other coworkers.

The majority of our employees are in this risk category and therefore advised to follow CDC recommendations described below.

Work Site, Building, and Ventilation Protocols
Prior to starting a project, the supervisor is responsible for consulting with the building owner, customer or HVAC professional to ensure proper ventilation, particularly air flow and air exchange, is available and maintained. If any deviations are found, the supervisor shall recommend improving ventilation utilizing the following engineering controls:

• Increase outdoor air exchange, and eliminate recirculating air whenever possible
• Replace and upgrade central-air filtration prior to the start of the project and after project completion to at least the MERV-13 or highest compatible model. Improve central-air filtration to at least MERV-13
• Utilize portable HEPA filter ventilation units if the building ventilation needs to be improved
• Monitor humidity levels to RH 40-60% wherever possible

Handwashing, Hygiene and PPE
Basic infection prevention measures are being implemented at our work locations at all times. Employees are instructed to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water frequently throughout the day, but especially at the beginning and end of their work day, prior to any mealtimes and after using the restrooms. Some workplaces may have hand-sanitizer dispensers (that use sanitizers of greater than 60% alcohol) that can be used for hand hygiene in place of soap and water, as long as hands are not visibly soiled. Hand washing stations are available for job sites when a sink and soap are not readily available upon request.

Hand-sanitizer, disinfecting spray and wipes, soap, and other PPE such as face coverings, gloves, shields, etc. are available. Employees will be training on proper use of PPE. Employees are asked to wear a face covering if they feel uncomfortable, are unable to maintain a 6-foot distance or are in a public area. Non-disposable face coverages, clothing and personal protective equipment should be washed daily and stored appropriately when not in use. Field employees should contact Dave Neang or Todd Dunphy in the Warehouse and office employees should contact their manager or Human Resources for supplies. Our supply of PPE is monitored daily to ensure we can promptly re-order when supplies decrease, and requests are evaluated based on need. Personal hygiene reminders are posted at all work locations. Community provided food (such as lunch buffets, donuts, candy dishes, etc.…) have been removed from work locations. Additionally, community provided convenience items such as microwaves, refrigerators, water fountains, coffee pots, etc. have been removed and suggestions for bringing a thermos from home, individual lunch boxes, etc. have been communicated to employees.

Respiratory Etiquette: Cover your Cough or Sneeze
Employees and visitors are instructed to cover their mouth and nose with their sleeve or a tissue when coughing or sneezing and to avoid touching their face, in particular their mouth, nose and eyes, with their hands. They should dispose of tissues in the trash and wash or sanitize their hands immediately afterward. Respiratory etiquette will be indicated on posters and supported by making tissues and trash receptacles available to all employees and visitors.

Housekeeping
Regular housekeeping practices are being implemented, including routine cleaning and disinfecting of work surfaces, equipment, tools and machinery, and areas in the work environment, including restrooms, printers, break rooms, lunch rooms and meeting rooms. Frequent cleaning and disinfecting will be conducted in controls, door handles, elevator panels, railings, etc. All worksites shall maintain and document a sanitization schedule and checklist to ensure all shared surfaces/equipment are properly sanitized. When liquid sanitizers cannot be used, the surface shall be covered with a poly-covering and changed out frequently. Employees should refrain from using other employees’ equipment, including desks, computers, phones, keyboards, tools, personal equipment etc.

Our offices are cleaned daily by a third party. They use Quat-Stat 5 to disinfect. If an employee is diagnosed with COVID-19, our cleaning staff will discretely disinfect the work area of the of the employee with a confirmed COVID-19 case as well as the work spaces they used.

Social Distancing
To prevent transmission of the virus through the air through saliva or mucus, the CDC recommends maintaining a distance of 6 feet from another person. By maintaining a proper “social distance” of 6 feet from others, we will prevent transfer of the virus when someone coughs, sneezes or speaks. The following engineering and administrative controls will be implemented at workplace locations as indicated by community and workplace spread:

• Staggered shifts may be used to reduce the number of employees in the work location at one time.
• In-person meetings are eliminated whenever possible, and when not, social distancing must apply.
• If participation in an in-person project meeting is required, only one member of Hunt’s site leadership team will be allowed to be physically present.
• Provide signage or instructions for employees and visitors.
• Evaluate traffic flow through high traffic areas (stairways, entrances, exits, loading docks etc.) for the worksite, implement traffic routes to reduce crowding and allow for social distancing.
• Suspension of all non-essential business travel.
• Essential business travel, including commercial air travel and other forms of public transportation, must be approved by the manager and Response Team.
• Disinfectant and hand sanitizer are available throughout the office locations and job sites.
• Common areas such as break rooms, conference rooms, offices and training areas have been reconfigured to allow for appropriate distancing (ex. removing chairs) and in some instances closed.
• Avoid large meetings, trainings or gatherings of more than 10 people, including break areas. Utilize Microsoft Teams when meetings include more than 2 participants.
• When social distancing cannot be maintained, employees must use a face covering.
• Employees and visitors are discouraged from gathering in groups and confined areas.
  • Visitors to office, warehouse and jobsite locations are only allowed by appointment and must receive approval from a member of the Response Team.

Face Coverings
According to the CDC, face coverings are effective in preventing the transmission of respiratory droplets that may spread COVID-19. All employees have been provided with a face covering and shall always carry a face covering with them.  Notices shall be posted at all work locations, informing employees and visitors of the required use of face covers.  All employees who are NOT fully-vaccinated are required to, by OSHA, wear an approved mask at all times.

• Exempt employees. individuals with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that makes it unreasonable for the individual to maintain a face covering. This includes, but it not limited to, individuals who have a medical condition that compromises their ability to breathe, and individuals who are unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove a face covering without assistance. These individuals shall consider using alternatives to face coverings, including clear face shields, and staying at home as much as possible. If this exemption applies to you, field employees shall contact the Safety Department and office employees shall contact Megan Clyne.

Circumstances where face coverings may be temporarily removed.

• When eating, or drinking, provided that at least 6 feet of physical distance is maintained between employees.
• During work activities that require the use of an Arc Flash suit OR while the level of exertion makes it difficult to breath.
• When employees are alone in an office, or a room with floor to ceiling walls, sitting in a vehicle, or the cab of heavy equipment or machinery, or an enclosed work area. In such situations, the individual shall still carry a face covering to be prepared for person-to-person interactions and shall be used when no longer alone.

Essential Business Travel
The restrictions on commercial air travel have subsided, allowing greater freedom to travel both domestically and internationally.  Regardless of your destination, you should review the COVID-19 conditions and restrictions for your destination and understand any quarantine requirements.

National Division – Onsite Operations:

• Travel home per an employee’s “Travel Agreement” is considered Business Essential Travel and must be in accordance with the agreement.
• Travel agreements may require modification to abide by COVID modified travel policies. Obtain approval from manager prior to your first trip under these guidelines.
• If COVID specific restrictions are lessor in your home state than at the project location, it is requested you maintain the guidance required at project.
• Travel to any destination which differs from that outlined on Travel Agreement is NOT considered essential business travel and may require quarantine if taken. Commercial air travel is currently only approved as Business Essential when traveling from project location to main residence and vice versa. Discuss with your manager if you are considering traveling for personal reasons.
• If anyone in your home residence has ANY symptoms do not travel. Reschedule your trip.

All Other Employees:

• Travel as deemed essential by your manager. Essential is defined as critical to the financial viability of the business and the transaction cannot happen without travel/face-to-face meeting.
• Essential travel includes business-critical interactions with customers and bid walk throughs which are mandatory or create better chance of award if attended in person, but not social events.
• Manager must approve all business travel requests.

General Guidelines To Be Followed By All Travel Approved Via Above Qualifications:

• Direct flights need to be taken whenever feasible. Discuss options with your Manager if direct flights are not available to/from your location. Neighboring airports should be considered to accommodate a direct flight.
• DO NOT travel if you feel sick at all. Reschedule your flight.
• Flights must be booked via Concur. Reimbursements via expense reporting will not be acceptable.
• Avoid public transportation. Rental car via Concur is acceptable if personal transportation is not an option.
• Face coverings must be worn during the entire time of travel.
• Follow CDC sanitation guidelines for frequent hand washing, sanitizer usage, etc.
• Use sanitizing wipes before touching surfaces while traveling.
• Certain destinations may have screening requirements. Familiarize yourself with these requirements. Employees must meet all criteria at departure and arrival locations.
