Silver Elephant’s Response to COVID-19

    Silver Elephant COVID-19 Response Measures

    Vancouver, B.C. – Silver Elephant is implementing extensive preventative measures across its offices and operations in order to safeguard the health of its employees, while continuing to operate safely and responsibly maintain employment and economic activity.

    All Silver Elephant corporate offices have been closed and remote work implemented for all employees able to do so. Other measures being put into place at Silver Elephant’s operations include:

    • Reducing or eliminating in person meetings and other large gatherings;
    • Enhanced cleaning and disinfecting protocols, including frequent disinfecting of employee work areas;
    • Promoting personal preventative measures, such as frequent handwashing;
    • Screening all contractors and external visitors to site for risk factors and symptoms;
    • Increasing social distancing practices at site, such as cancelling large group meetings; changing meetings from in-person to electronic, e.g.;
    • Requiring employees who show symptoms or are in close contact with someone with symptoms to stay home from work;
    • Requiring employees returning from travel outside of Canada to self-isolate; and
    • Reducing the number of on-site staff as much as possible; implementing work from home where feasible.

    John Lee, Executive Chairman:

    “We are focused on continuing to ensure the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate, while maintaining employment to the extent possible through this evolving challenge.

    We are implementing extensive protocols in response to COVID-19 to safeguard our employees and support community efforts to limit transmission.

    We are working closely with Silver Elephant’s management to support the preventative measures being implemented to protect the health and safety of our membership and maintain safe employment.
