JBS Enhancing COVID Prevention at Greeley CO. Beef Plant

12/08/2020

Reacting to criticism from public health officials and unions relating to the initial Company response following the emergence of COVID-19 in March and April, JBS has now intensified measures to protect workers and indirectly the community in Weld County. 

 

JBS has placed 202 workers representing the vulnerable population from the plant granting on protective leave with full pay and benefits.  In March, employees 70 years and older were placed on leave. This policy has been expanded to include those over the age of 60.  JBS is providing regular testing for COVID, supplying PPE and has installed ionization equipment to inactivate airborne virus in critical areas.  Other actions include staggering start and break times, health screening and checking temperatures of workers at the beginning of each shift.
