COVID-19 | Information and Updates
Information about how we’re doing our part to keep our people and communities safe.
The COVID-19 situation is rapidly changing and so too are the decisions that we as an organization must make. We understand that this is an extremely stressful and uncertain time for everyone, including every single one of our employees and their families. The safety of our employees, their families and communities is of utmost importance to us and will continue to be our main focus as we continue to navigate this situation.
We are regularly assessing and re-evaluating our processes and activities to ensure safety is paramount and we are following the advice from the proper health authorities and government officials. Ocean Choice continues to work collaboratively with our industry, community counterparts and union to share best practices and plans to ensure, as a collective group, we are doing all that we can for the safety of our people.
We will continue to take all the necessary precautions to minimize the potential risk to our employees while considering the essential nature of our sector to sustainable food production. This means taking additional steps, having the right plans and people in place to ensure continuity of the seafood industry as a critical part of our food supply both in Canada and abroad.
Visitor Restrictions
As of March 16, 2020, for the safety of everyone, we restricted access on board our vessels, in our plants and our offices to only essential employees and contractors.
Preventative Measures and Protocols
We have implemented our Emergency Response plans for all of our vessels, our plants and offices and we have a team of employees dedicated to the COVID-19 situation. We have put in place additional preventative measures across our entire operations, including pre-screening health surveys, daily health screenings, additional cleaning and sanitization processes, and social distancing protocols.
