Welcoming You Back Safely
As we welcome you to celebrating the ENR Regional Best Projects Awards together again in-person in 2021, the health and safety of our on-site event participants remains a top priority. In addition to following the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) prevention strategies guidelines as well as all current federal, state and local directives, we are continuing to develop and implement the most up-to-date protocols for safe and successful in-person events this autumn.
We are committed to keeping all of our attendees, staff, sponsors and vendors up to date with the latest health & safety developments to ensure a coordinated and a safe on-site experience for all. As guidelines and restrictions continue to change and evolve, ENR Regional Best Projects Awards will adapt plans accordingly and provide regular updates to event participants as necessary.
We are working with each of the 12 venues to follow the prevention strategies set forth by the CDC and adhering to the recommendations outlined in the U.S. EPA's emerging Pathogen Policy regarding cleaning disinfectants. In addition to the enhancements to their cleaning protocols, we will ensure a safe environment for all participants including:
Increasing the frequency of sanitation and disinfectant practices, particularly in high traffic and high touch areas, including handrails, washrooms, doors and doorknobs.
Positioning hand sanitizer stations in key high-traffic areas throughout the facility.
Increasing the strength of the disinfecting solutions used.
Increased training for building personnel to identify potential issues and prevent
the transmission of COVID-19.
The Public Safety department, Paramedics/EMT, Event Staff and Security
personnel have been educated and trained in identifying and recognizing the
signs, symptoms and prevention of COVID-19.
Remaining in close contact with local, state and federal authorities/agencies for
the latest updates and recommendations.
