SALESFORCE TOWER SECURITY LEVELS OUTLINE

PREPARATION LEVELS

There are six (6) different levels of preparation that should be planned for based upon the need and circumstance. Each level is a more heightened level of preparation. For example, if we move from a “Level 1” to a “Level 2”, Level 1 procedures will stay in place with Level 2 being in addition to Level 1.

  • Normal business operations; however, identify a pandemic coordinator.
  • Begin to research up-to-date, reliable pandemic information.

This level corresponds to the WHO Level 2 - “Higher Risk of Human Cases”.

  • Monitor the changes of the pandemic.
  • Be aware of government contingency planning.
  • Begin to assess all information available.

  • Work with cleaning contractor to step up sanitization process in restrooms, door handles, elevator buttons.

LEVEL 6

This level corresponds with the WHO level 6 “Efficient and Sustained Human to Human Transmission”.

  • Request that Better Bodies close
  • Mandate use of sick time when 3 of the 5 symptoms are present (Must discuss with Robinson Park Human Resources Department.)
  • Consider limiting points of access and implementing health screening stations. Do not permit contractors into building when 3 of the 5 symptoms are present.
  • Stay in frequent contact with local health authorities to be aware of procedures being implemented by city and state officials that will impact the property.
