AMT Integration is Still Open: Your Safety is Our Priority

It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has shaken up businesses, both big and small, as well as consumer behavior on a scale we’ve never seen before. Both the public and private sectors are doing their best to stop the spread and contain infections. Although the full economic consequences of this pandemic are unclear, we know the devastating impact it can have on people, particularly those who are more vulnerable.

AMT Integration’s mission is to connect people with innovative technology solutions to simplify and enhance their lives both at home and at work. As an essential business, we’re able to continue serving our customers, but it’s not business as usual. We care about your safety, so we’ve implemented the following guidelines to keep our clients and staff safe during this outbreak.

These procedures are mandatory and effective immediately.

CONCERNING FIELD TECHNICIAN AND SITE VISITS

• All field technicians will be wiping down all contact points in their vans with disinfecting cleaner after each service visit, as well as the beginning and end of each day.
• AMT Integration continues to mandate regular hand washing after restroom use and before eating.
• We provided each van driver with hand-sanitizer for each vehicle. All technicians working out of their vehicle are encouraged to use it regularly.
• As a protection measure for our team members and clients, we’ve instructed all in-field technicians to wear protective shoe booties, gloves, and masks at all times when inside a client’s home.
• Shaking hands is prohibited, and technicians should maintain a proper distance of six feet from a customer at all times.
• If any technician begins to exhibit signs of sickness, we will place them on mandatory leave immediately.

• AMT Integration will follow all appropriate testing guidelines for its employees, as set forth by the CDC and local health department.
• We ask our clients to immediately report any behavior that’s concerning or inappropriate, such as to conduct that doesn’t fall in line with our procedures above, to the AMT Integration administration
• We ask our clients to report to the AMT Integration administration if their health was compromised due to illness, or if they’ve been exposed to COVID-19.
• We encourage our field technicians to pack a home lunch and sufficient water or other beverages to get them through the workday. We discourage unnecessary trips to convenience stores, gas stations, or eateries.

ESSENTIAL BUSINESS DESIGNATION

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has classified security integrators and technicians, security offices, and control room operators as essential critical infrastructure workers during the COVID-19 response.
