Contractor COVID Policy
To JSR Suppliers and Service Providers:
Because of the critical nature of our businesses, and to an even greater extent, to keep our worksites and employees as safe and healthy as possible, JSR Micro’s leadership has continuously followed the latest research, guidance, and best practices for combating COVID-19. Our efforts are working but the pandemic persists. So, we must do more – more to keep our employees safe, more to keep our families and communities safe and more to ensure the company’s ability to continue to service our critical industries.
Science is bearing out that the single most effective thing we can do is to increase vaccination rates. Therefore, in line with the recent COVID-19 federal executive order and the OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard, JSR Micro requires full vaccination or weekly testing for its employees who work on-site.
JSR Micro is also implementing similar COVID vaccination and testing requirements for on-site contractors and vendors effective January 1, 2022. This means that before being allowed to perform work at a JSR Micro facility, individuals will need to show either proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result taken prior to the visit. Unvaccinated visitors are not allowed on any JSR company site, unless they have a negative PCR test in last 24-48 hours or receive prior written approval from EHS, HR, and the relevant business director sponsoring the work or visit. Companies sending visitors to a JSR site shall provide JSR with a written attestation certifying your company’s compliance.
Please understand this is a JSR Micro requirement for personnel physically at our facilities. Individuals or companies that do not comply will not be permitted on-site and therefore cannot contract work to be performed at JSR Micro.
Let us know if there are any questions, and if you and your company cannot comply with this COVID safety requirement from JSR Micro.
If you have any questions, please contact any of the following:
-
Mark Slezak (President, JSR Micro) at 408-857-9818
-
Andrew Cohen (VP & General Counsel) at 919-414-7125
We hope that these policies can ensure a safe workplace for employees and visitors. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Mark Slezak
President
