Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) Senior Vice President Hector Gonzalez
today released a video message addressing the protective measures
the company has implemented in facilities to ensure the health and
safety of team members.
Tyson Foods has taken steps to protect its team members, while
continuing to fulfill its role to feed the nation. Some of the
measures include taking worker temperatures, requiring protective
face coverings and conducting additional cleaning and sanitizing.
The company is also implementing social distancing measures, such
as installing workstation dividers and providing more breakroom
space.
TRANSCRIPT: We understand that people are
anxious during this very challenging time, which is why we believe
information is the best tool for combating this virus. We want our
team members to express their concerns, so that we have an
opportunity to address them timely and properly. We’re
extremely grateful for the work our team members are doing and for
the role they play in the critical supply chain that extends from
farm to fork. We’ve worked diligently to protect our team members
by taking worker temperatures at the start of each shift and
identifying symptomatic team members who simply need to be asked to
go see their doctor. We’ve required face coverings and have
performed deep cleaning at a number of our facilities. We spent
countless hours working on social distancing measures, building
dividers at a number of workstations and expanding breakrooms by
erecting tents to simply give us more room. We’ve restricted
visitor access and have encouraged our team members repeatedly to
stay home if they don’t feel well. This is an ever-changing
situation and we are committed to exploring every way possible for
keeping our team members safe.
