I wanted to share some more good news from BWC. Please share this information with your chamber members.

We announced last week a new program, Protecting Ohio’s Workforce – We’ve Got You Covered. With this program, BWC will send face coverings to all state-funded employers who are in good standing and report payroll. We intend the face coverings to support and enhance, not replace, any workplace safety and health efforts employers already have in place. Although they don’t guarantee protection from COVID-19, public health experts say they lessen the risk for carriers to transmit the virus to others.

Employers will not be billed for the items. The face coverings average less than a dollar apiece and are funded from BWC’s existing budget with no impact on employer premiums.

We began shipping masks on 5-20-20 and will continue shipments for several weeks. We are able to track when shipments have been prepared for delivery; however, we cannot say the exact date the delivery will be made. The masks will be shipped via United Parcel Service (UPS) to the primary physical Ohio address on file.

If your members would like to know an estimate of how many face coverings they should receive, they can contact me directly.

Thanks,
Kathleen
