Can maintenance professionals still perform emergency maintenance during a curfew?
- Yes, while still following standard safety procedures and protocols for emergency calls. (As defined by your company or community.)
If requested by authorities (Sheriff's Office charged with enforcement curfews), maintenance professionals or onsite teams site should...
- Travel directly to and from the source of the emergency call. (i.e. Not make additional unrelated stops)
- Be able to provide official company issued and government-issued forms of identification to law enforcement.
- Articulate the nature of the emergency service call, the address of the emergency work order, and if possible produce a work order/service request for their review.
We have been assured that the intent of the curfew is to curtail non-essential travel and social interaction in an effort to curb the spread of COVID19. This situation is evolving - please check by for more details as they are made available.
