Crescent, Taking Actions to Address
COVID-19 Prevention Plan
COVID rates are dropping, and vaccinations on the rise, the world is moving in the right direction. Currently, Crescent will not be removing the mandated face-covering policy. Recently Crescent has experienced an increase in the number of cases reported in our network and is conducting further risk analysis at each site before changing our face-covering policy.  We will assess risk weekly and make adjustments by site as warranted. Our Do it Safe value means protecting all Crescent People from the risk of COVID 19

Crescent will monitor developments vigilantly due to the fluidity of current state mandates and revisions; we will update you when information changes when we can do so. 

With the mask mandate in place, ALL CRESCENT SITES will operate under the following COVID-19 prevention plan.

If the following are TRUE for your site operation:
  1. The counties in which you work and operate and any adjoining counties (as reported by the Crescent Crisis Management Team (CMT)) are risk category “yellow” for 14 consecutive days.
  2. No new Crescent cases, with exposure risk, at your site in 14 days.
  3. No Federal, State, or Customer mandates (mask-wearing, temperature taking, pre-shift health checks, social distancing auditing)

Crescent will remove:
  • All Healthy Measures temperature taking and the mandatory pre-shift health questionnaire - Auscura 
  • Testing Requirements for travelers to/from sites
  • Social Distancing Audit requirements; however, the use of the audit program will be at the discretion of site leadership
  • All Visitor Restrictions
Crescent will continue the following:

  • Mask wearing regardless of vaccination status to help protect yourself and others; Note: Site leadership, in conjunction with the CMT, will continue to evaluate this policy weekly and make changes when necessary.
  • To educate all People on Vaccination options and how to schedule an appointment.
  • Paid time off for COVID recovery or quarantines
  • Use of engineering controls, to include the use of temporary barriers, on lines where at least 3 ft social distance is not possible
  • Increased Sanitation & Disinfection Common Areas & High Traffic / Touchpoints
  • Increased hand washing and sanitizing frequency
  • Following State and Federal health mandates
  • Twice monthly CMT Meetings
  • Visitors must provide contact tracing information (name, company representing, email, phone number)
  • Provide masks to those who want one
Crescent encourages all People to:

  • If unvaccinated, wear a mask covering your nose and mouth to protect yourself and others when not working at a Crescent location
  • Complete Pre-shift personal health checks & COVID testing with symptoms
  • Use, where offered, of Auscura health screening service.
  • Social Distancing
  • Stay home when you are sick
  • Ask questions about COVID-19, Crescent benefits, vaccinations, and testing
  • Wear a mask covering your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others in poorly ventilated indoor spaces
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available
  • Monitor your health daily- be alert for symptoms and take your temperature
  • Use Crescent EAP services to help manage stress related to COVID-19
Crescent’s Crisis Management Team will continuously assess the risk of each Crescent location. If we see the risk category escalate or experience a positive covid case with exposure risk, we will consider reinstituting policies that have been removed previously. These risks will be reviewed and discussed at each CMT meeting, and we will make adjustments to this policy as deemed necessary.

For the health and safety of all of your coworkers, it is essential that you do not report to work if you suspect you have COVID-19. If you suspect that you or a family member that resides with you has COVID-19, please seek immediate medical treatment and do not report to work. If you are showing any symptoms of COVID-19, you should not report to work until (1) a healthcare provider examines you and confirms that you do not have COVID-19, or (2) a healthcare provider diagnoses you with COVID-19 and then clears you to return to work. If you have contracted COVID-19, and you believe you became infected with the disease while working for Crescent, including during work-related travel, please immediately alert your manager or your People Group Representative so that we can assess your exposure risk.
