Advertisement In response to recent positive cases of COVID-19 at two steelmaking coal operations and a construction project in the Elk Valley of British Columbia, Teck has implemented enhanced response protocols and preventative measures to safeguard workers and local communities. In addition, an on-site review of Fording River Operations and the water treatment facility construction site conducted last week by Interior Health confirmed Teck is taking the correct steps to manage transmission of COVID-19. Enhanced response protocols and preventative measures include: Mandatory use of C95 or KN95 respirators in indoor settings and workspaces for all employees, contractors and visitors. Implementing enhanced and increased screening of all individuals arriving at site to reflect current provincial health restrictions.
