Volunteer Wellness Policy Guidelines
Rebuilding Together Oklahoma City (RTOKC) prioritizes the health and safety of homeowners, contractors, volunteers, and staff. With the spread of the coronavirus or “COVID-19,” we all must remain vigilant in mitigating the outbreak and protecting one another.
In order to be safe and maintain operations, we have developed the wellness policies outlined below, to be implemented throughout the organization and at all of our work sites. RTOKC has also developed COVID-19 Exposure Prevention Policies for Contractors, which are available upon request. RTOKC will seek to follow all applicable and relevant government recommendations and may update the policies at any time.
I understand that I will need to sign and return a copy of this notice in order to perform volunteer activities for RTOKC. In addition please note:
• RTOKC will suspend all home repair activities unless the homeowner has given express written consent for those activities to continue.
• Homeowners authorizing home repairs are releasing RTOKC, its volunteers, its contractors, its directors, and officers from any liability or claims that may arise from exposure to pathogens due to home repair activities.
• Volunteers will notify RTOKC immediately if they or any other resident at their home has tested positive or has been in contact with someone that tested positive for COVID-19.
• RTOKC staff and contractors will try to avoid physical contact with homeowners to the maximum extent possible
• Homeowner has agreed to stay six feet away from any RTOKC representatives (volunteers, staff or contractors) performing repairs on the home, in a separate room from repairs being made when possible.
