Boeing’s Ridley Park plant is once again open for business after it shut down for two-and-a-half weeks for an enhanced COVID-19 cleaning, reports assemblymag.com.

The CH-47 Chinook production facility, where the fuselage for the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is also built, is considered an essential business by the U.S. Department of Defense.

The plant now has enhanced safety measures focusing on COVID-19. Hand sanitation stations were added at entry points to the manufacturing site.

“We’ve posted signage throughout the facility to help keep enhanced hygiene top-of-mind,” Boeing says.

Social distancing between employees will be done by staggering shift times, holding virtual meetings, with some workers doing telework.

“Work areas have been spaced farther apart with visual markers displayed to encourage physical distancing,” says Boeing. “Cafeteria areas will be adjusted to allow for more physical distancing.”

All employees will be required to wear face masks or other coverings, which the company will provide.

Temperature screenings will be required before employees come to work. Boeing will also check temperatures when needed using no-touch thermal scanners.

Before closing, the plant delivered a CH-47F to the the Royal Netherlands Air Force, its first.
