C.R. Laurence shared the following letter about its ongoing response to COVID-19:
At CRL, we’re following federal, state and local guidelines to ensure the health, safety and welfare of our employees, customers and communities.
As a designated Essential Business, the services and work we perform are declared necessary to the operations and maintenance of essential infrastructure, as defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security memorandum titled, “Identification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers During COVID-19 Response,” issued on March 19, 2020.
We have developed plans and modified operations and procedures based on recommendations from the CDC and FISA and continue to remain open as an Essential Business designation by the state and local governments and to ensure the safety, health and welfare of our employees, customers and communities.
To support the urgent need for personal protective equipment for medical professionals in our local communities, we are donating our available inventory of medical and industrial grade gloves, masks and protective eyewear to first responders and medical facilities. The facilities that have received our donations are in the neighborhoods where the CRL team lives and works.
We are pleased that the products we make to keep the construction industry safe each day are now providing a valuable resource for medical professionals and first responders.
