EH&E Webinar – Bringing Buildings Back: The Path for a Safe and Healthy Reopening

Wednesday, June 3, 2020

1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT

Through news and media outlets, people have followed conflicting reports on how the coronavirus is spread and the risk it presents in the various environments they are preparing to reenter. They will have expectations of their work environment and will be carefully evaluating it for safety. Building owners and managers need to implement measures to assure occupants of their safety and avoid the risk of having their building or workspace perceived as an unhealthy environment, which could result in further disruptions to operations.

To address occupant and leadership concerns, and to ensure confidence in your building, building managers need to take an integrated approach to returning to the workplace. Join this webinar to learn the critical components of an integrated management plan to get you on the path for a healthy and safe reopening:
