Help is needed in establishing locations for COVID-19 symptomatic long haul drivers

Truckers for a Cause is trying to identify truck stop based or other clinic locations with adjacent truck parking so that long haul drivers can self-isolate in their trucks if they become symptomatic with possible COVID-19 infections. They are creating a web based list for drivers. Their general information will include CDC guidance on not going to clinics but to call and get instructions and they will also be setting up welfare checks for drivers self isolating in their truck. If you are associated with a facility able to deal with symptomatic COVID-19 truck drivers or a truck stop based clinic not appropriate for symptomatic truck drivers that would divert symptomatic drivers please email Bob Stanton at Truckersforacause.com so that he can update this web based list for drivers.

ACOEM has advised that routine occupational spirometry testing be suspended during the COVID-19 Pandemic. 

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published “Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19” to help companies respond in the event of coronavirus in the workplace.
