September 29, 2020 Health: 1. IWD has failed to provide proper PPE (masks, gloves, gowns, etc.) to employees. Nor, have they provided guidance/policy on wearing masks while inside IWD buildings throughout Iowa. On Monday, September 28, 2020 IWD ceased screening employees prior to entrance into IWD buildings throughout Iowa. Previous to this date, both temperatures and screening questions were asked and recorded of ALL that entered IWD buildings. Now, IWD will be monitoring temperatures of ONLY customers upon entrance. Employees believe this is a violation of both Federal and State standards and regulations during a time when Covid-19 infection rates across large portions of Iowa are over 15%. 2. Hand sanitizer dispensers are not refilled frequently and run out of sanitizer. 3. IWD employees feel unsafe in their work environment due to; inadequate precautionary measures, no health & safety training especially on blood borne pathogens & airborne transmissions, and lack of proper personal protective equipment being provided at their worksites.
