As part of the Virtual Summer of Safety, AWO hosted Sharon Lipinski, CEO of Habit Mastery Consulting, who presented “But I Don’t Want to Wear My Face Mask” to help those companies struggling to maintain their new COVID-19 safety regimen in the workplace. Sharon shared the six reasons employees resist COVID-19 safety guidelines, three tactics that make situations like these worse, and three steps companies can take to get employees to follow their COVID-19 safety procedures.

As part of the Virtual Summer of Safety, and as part of the ongoing commitment to assist the towing industry in navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, AWO hosted the “Addressing COVID-19: Returning to the Office” webinar on Tuesday, June 16, 2020. State and local governments are beginning to ease restrictions put in place to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission, and many business leaders – including those in the towing industry – are developing plans to return employees to their office spaces while implementing social distancing and other COVID-19 prevention measures. The webinar featured expert safety insights from representatives of Tidewater Transportation and Terminals, Canal Barge Company, Delphi Maritime, and the American Bureau of Shipping discussing their specific return to the office scenarios and the ongoing planning to protect the health and safety of shoreside employees.
