Trainer Talk
July 2020
Trainers are currently permitted to train in groups of 50 or less, including the instructor, and following all of the Healthy at Work guidelines for small businesses relating to PPE, hand washing, temperature checks etc. The Healthy at Work guidelines MUST be followed until we receive further instruction based on our phased reopening and plans from the Governor/DPH/DCC management. Virtual trainings are still preferred to disperse content to larger groups.
