[Libs-Or] Face Masks

[Kathy]

I emailed our Morrow County Emergency contact. They will not share any masks with us.  But he may be able to email me with possible sources.

Three people on my staff sew and they are quilters so they have the tightly woven fabric on hand. I supplied them with several acceptable double-layered design templates, most of them with a floral wire insert across the nose bridge. Most everyone prefers masks that tie to ones with elastic. I paid them their hourly wage for the work. They came up with a price for materials per mask ($1.50) and I gave them an invoice to fill out. I calculated that each person on staff should have 4 masks. The three sewing employees each did 1/3 of our total need. Just in case anyone else has similar talent on their staff or in their municipality. Some staff are still choosing to supply their own or supplement with other masks but I committed to commissioning four washable masks per person on staff. I am requiring staff to wear masks for the foreseeable future. We are working inside our building together, physically distanced, and we're also doing a home delivery service.

For staff PPE, we’ve been struggling to find a supplier for bulk non-medical masks at an affordable cost.

Recently found this vendor https://maskmakersppe.com/
But are cautious as the company was only registered as an LLC in Michigan in March 2020.

So, we may just start with a small 1-3 month supply order.

The Oregon Health Authority has issued a recommendation to use face coverings in business and public settings, if it helps to point to an authoritative source:

Our county counsel is of the opinion that we can require employees to wear masks but cannot require members of the public to, given that we're a public building. He said that we can strongly encourage people, too, though, through signage and individual conversations, especially with people who are visibly coughing/sneezing, etc.

Cheers!

Has anyone consulted legal consul regarding a requirement for employees to wear face masks? I see in the state draft that is says to check and see if that is possible. It also uses the language “encourage”. This was in the reopening guidance for retail stores.



Strongly encourage all employees and customers to wear cloth face coverings. If a store sets a policy that all employees and customers are required to wear cloth face coverings, store management should consult with their legal counsel to determine whether or not such a requirement can be enforced and whether they will provide cloth face coverings for those who do not bring their own
