COVID-19
Pg. 55 of the Employee Handbook

As part of our efforts to address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have established the following policy to guide our approach to vaccination and other preventive measures.

​

While BPI encourages employees to consider vaccination as a precautionary measure against COVID-19, we respect individual choices regarding vaccination. It is important to note that, in accordance with Texas state regulations, we do not mandate or require employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

​

To ensure the safety of our employees and visitors, BPI will continue to implement and enforce the following preventive measures:

​

• Mask-Wearing: All employees are encouraged to wear masks in common areas if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, however this is not a requirement.

• Employees experiencing symptoms of illness, including but not limited to: fever, cough, and shortness of breath, are encouraged to stay home.

• Handwashing: Employees are encouraged to wash hands frequently, especially after using shared equipment or touching common surfaces.

• Respiratory Etiquette: Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of tissues in provided trash receptacles.

 

BPI is dedicated to fostering a supportive and safe working environment. This policy reflects our commitment to respecting individual choices while prioritizing the health and well-being of our employees. This policy is subject to change based on updates from health authorities and state regulations.
