Description
As we prepare for the slow lifting of Stay-at-Home orders in North Carolina, what must restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and hotels do to safeguard employees, customers, and their businesses? Are you up-to-speed on the guidance from OSHA regarding Personal Protective Equipment, testing and screening of employees, and social-distancing requirements? We'll give you the information you need to safely re-open your business. Join us for our May 8 online meeting for the Hospitality Industry.
