“This is a great training for businesses who are unsure of the current standards and who want to prepare their plan for reopening their business,” said Lynn Oswald, director of the NCCC SBDC.
A press release noted the instructor is a safety-certified trainer who is up-to-date on regulatory changes issued by the Center for Disease Control, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and New York state.
Reopened businesses will be responsible for the cleaning and disinfection of their operations as well as providing relevant personal protection equipment (PPE) and establishing proper social distancing.
NCCC Workforce Development is hosting a similar training program aimed at helping manufacturers. For a small fee, WNY manufacturers will receive expert instruction on reopening issues specific to a production facility.
Additional trainings will be announced in the near future for restaurant and hospitality operations.
