LONDRES, 12 de mayo de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Cientos de miles de invaluables piezas resguardadas en varios museos en Irak ahora están protegidas de la amenaza de robo y pillaje gracias a una marca que señala un código único invisible y forma parte de un nuevo protocolo que pronto estará disponible en todo el mundo a fin de proteger a museos, sitios de valor histórico y zonas arqueológicas en riesgo.

Invisible to the naked eye, SmartWater glows yellow under UV black light.

Gracias al financiamiento del Consejo Británico, alrededor de 273.000 piezas de dos museos iraquíes ya cuentan con la protección que ofrece esta nueva técnica. El proyecto permite rastrear los invaluables objetos de vuelta al lugar de donde fueron robados, facilitando así la labor de prevención del robo que compete a las agencias dedicadas a observar el cumplimiento de la ley, creando un poderoso disuasor para posibles ladrones y traficantes.

El innovador proyecto, a cargo del reputado arqueólogo Roger Matthews, catedrático de la Universidad de Reading, utiliza un líquido forense especialmente preparado por SmartWater a fin de asignar una firma química única a cada pieza de museo. La solución es imperceptible a simple vista, solo puede detectarse bajo una luz negra UV y los científicos solamente necesitan una mota de SmartWater para determinar de qué lugar fue robado el objeto, la fecha en que se aplicó la solución y quién lo hizo.

Las pruebas realizadas por el equipo científico de la Universidad de Reading señalan que el líquido forense no causa daño alguno a rocas, cerámica, metal o vidrio, y puede tolerar el calor intenso, los solventes agresivos y las condiciones ambientales extremas durante décadas. Todos los costos de investigación y desarrollo fueron cubiertos por The SmartWater Foundation, rama no lucrativa de The SmartWater Group, una de las compañías de gestión de riesgos con más vertiginoso crecimiento en el planeta.

El profesor Matthews comentó: «Las piezas de colección de los museos con las que hemos trabajado son invaluables si pensamos en el inmenso valor cultural que tienen para Irak. Esta iniciativa dota efectivamente a los objetos de una huella química que permite rastrearlos en caso de que caigan en las manos incorrectas. Además, ofrece a las agencias dedicadas a observar el cumplimiento de la ley la evidencia necesaria para arrestar y procesar a quienes sean descubiertos en posesión ilegal de piezas museísticas».

El acervo incluye piezas inorgánicas de todos los períodos de la historia de Irak: hachas de la Edad de Piedra, vasijas del Neolítico datadas en el 7000 a.C., coincidentes con los primeros asentamientos agrícolas del mundo. En 2003 y durante la ocupación de Mosul a manos de ISIS entre 2014 y 2017, este tipo de objetos fueron robados con frecuencia de los museos para después aparecer en mercados internacionales de antigüedades.

El problema del robo de piezas de los museos, los sitios históricos y las zonas arqueológicas sigue creciendo; los templos de la India son un blanco especial, así como las zonas arqueológicas de Sudamérica. En los Estados Unidos, los sitios de los pueblos originarios se encuentran en riesgo, en particular los remotos cementerios que pueden ser un objetivo fácil del pillaje.

Colette Loll, asesora senior de The SmartWater Foundation, rama no lucrativa de The SmartWater Group, comentó: ‘Gracias a la firma forense de SmartWater, estas destacadas colecciones museísticas ahora son rastreables y podrán ser repatriadas en caso de ser robadas o traficadas. Básicamente, estamos dando aviso al mercado del arte del riesgo real que los marcadores forenses representan para los vendedores Y los compradores de piezas robadas».

Phil Cleary, director general de The SmartWater Group, apuntó: «Estamos encantados de haber podido apoyar la ejecución de esta importante iniciativa en Irak, ya que confluye plenamente con nuestra misión de reducir el riesgo de robo en cualquier lugar».

Hyundai Mobis secured front grill artificial engine sound system for electric vehicles

– The first in the world to develop an artificial engine sound using the grill cover of the electric vehicle

– Creative thinking that eliminated acoustic pressure loss by using the cover as the diaphragm

– Added the turn signal sound and charging sound function; also used as speakers for playing music when camping

-Expected to be highly useful in the age of future cars when communication with pedestrians is critical

– The first in the world to develop an artificial engine sound using the grill cover of the electric vehicle

– Creative thinking that eliminated acoustic pressure loss by using the cover as the diaphragm

– Added the turn signal sound and charging sound function; also used as speakers for playing music when camping

-Expected to be highly useful in the age of future cars when communication with pedestrians is critical

SEOUL, South Korea, May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Mobis, which has been accelerating the development of the core components of environmentally-friendly cars, developed an artificial engine sound system using the grill cover of the electric vehicle for the first time in the world.

Hyundai Mobis CI

Unlike internal combustion engine vehicles that have holes in the front grill to let the air flow in, the front of an electric vehicle is completely blocked. Based on this fact, Hyundai Mobis creatively changed the way we think and used the cover itself as a component of the speakers, and developed a new system as a result.

«Hyundai Mobis succeeded in reducing the weight by 2/3 and the size by half,» said Kim Tae-woo, head of IVI Product Design Team 2 of Hyundai Mobis. «We simplified the structure and lowered the price by reducing the number of components by more than half, and eliminated the bracket or housing, which fastens different devices, to easily secure space.»

Hyundai Mobis greatly improved the efficiency and performance of this new system compared to existing products, and added such functions as the turn signal sound and charging status alarm as well as the artificiall engine sound. In keeping with the age of future cars when autonomous driving becomes common, it is necessary to inform pedestrians of the direction in which the vehicle is going or whether it is operating so that they can be prepared in advance. Also, it can be used as speakers for playing music during outdoor activities, such as camping.

Acoustic Vehicle Alert Sound (AVAS) is a speaker system that produces a sound outside of the vehicle so that pedestrians can sense an oncoming environmentally-friendly car that emits almost no noise. It is differentiated from ASD which produces an artificial engine sound inside the vehicle for the fun of driving. Governments around the world are making the artificial engine sound system mandatory to prevent accidents involving pedestrians from becoming more common as environmentally-friendly cars are too quiet.

This system, developed by Hyundai Mobis, installs the existing product, which used to be installed inside the vehicle in the form of complete speakers, on the back of the grill cover located on the front of the vehicle, in the form of a half-finished product. A speaker consists of the actuator, which actually generates sound, and the diaphragm, which propagates the sound to the outside. Hyundai Mobis separated the actuator, attached it to the grill cover and used the grill cover as the diaphragm of the speakers. Unlike existing speakers installed inside the electric vehicle with a blocked front, the grill cover, exposed to the outside, produces sound in this system and there is no acoustic pressure loss. So it is very efficient.

In hybrid cars which have both the engine and motor, the actuator is installed on the back of the front bumper for the same effect. Hyundai Mobis achieved this result only a year after it began development at the end of 2018, and applied for two related patents.

Utensilios incalculables en Irak protegidos contra los robos gracias al uso del nuevo dispositivo SmartWater

–  Utensilios incalculables en Irak protegidos contra los robos gracias al uso del nuevo dispositivo SmartWater ‘Forensic Fingerprinting’

LONDRES, 12 de mayo de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Cientos de miles de utensilios incalculables de varios museos de Irak han sido protegidos de la amenaza de los robos y saqueos al hacer que dispongan de un Código indivisible, por medio de un nuevo protocolo de seguridad que sirva para estar disponible en todo el mundo y proteger a los museos ‘en riesgo’, sitios históricos y arqueológicos.

–  Utensilios incalculables en Irak protegidos contra los robos gracias al uso del nuevo dispositivo SmartWater ‘Forensic Fingerprinting’

LONDRES, 12 de mayo de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Cientos de miles de utensilios incalculables de varios museos de Irak han sido protegidos de la amenaza de los robos y saqueos al hacer que dispongan de un Código indivisible, por medio de un nuevo protocolo de seguridad que sirva para estar disponible en todo el mundo y proteger a los museos ‘en riesgo’, sitios históricos y arqueológicos.

Invisible to the naked eye, SmartWater glows yellow under UV black light.

Fundada por medio del British Council, se han protegido unos 273.000 utensilios que se encontraban en dos museos de Irak gracias al uso de esta nueva aproximación. El proyecto permite que los objetos incalculables se sigan hasta el sitio en el que fueron robados, haciendo que sea más sencillo para las agencias de cumplimentación de la ley demostrar el robo, creando una disuasión potente frente a los posibles ladrones y traficantes.

Este proyecto tan innovador, liderado por el destacado arqueólogo, el profesor Roger Matthews, de la University of Reading, utiliza un líquido forense de preparación especial SmartWater para adherirse a la firma química única en los objetos del museo. La solución es invisible al simple ojo, y solo se puede detectar bajo una luz negra UV, mientras que los científicos solo necesitan recuperar una mota de SmartWater para demostrar en qué localización se ha robado el utensilio, la fecha de aplicación de la solución y por medio de quién.

Los test realizados por los científicos en la Reading University llegaron a la conclusión de que las causas líquidas forenses no dañaban la piedra, cerámica, metal o cristal, pudiendo resistir un calor intense, disolventes duros y condiciones medioambientales extremas durante décadas. Todos los costes de I+D contaron con los fondos de la SmartWater Foundation, brazo sin ánimo de lucro de SmartWater Group, una de las compañías de gestión de riesgo de crecimiento más rápido en el mundo.

El profesor Matthews comentó: «Los utensilios en las colecciones de museos con los que hemos trabajado con incalculables, en lo que respecta al valor cultural enorme que ofrecen para Irak. Esta iniciativa proporciona objetos eficaces a las huellas químicas, lo que les permite realizar el seguimiento si caen en las manos inadecuadas. Además, proporciona a las agencias de refuerzo de la ley las evidencias necesarias para detener y perseguir a los que se encuentren en posesión ilegal de utensilios».

Los utensilios incluyen piezas inorgánicas de todos los periodos del pasado de Irak; desde hachas de la edad de piedra hasta jarrones neolíticos que darán del año 7.000 antes de Cristo, cuando se crearon las primeras villas agrícolas del mundo. En 2003, durante la ocupación de Mosul por medio del ISIS entre los años 2014 y 2017, fueron saqueados frecuentemente de los museos, apareciendo posteriormente en los mercados de antigüedades internacionales.

El problema del robo de utensilios desde museos, sitios arqueológicos e históricos es cada vez mayor, y los templos en La India están siendo objetivos, además de los sitios arquitectónico en Sudamérica. En Estados Unidos, los sitios nativos americanos están en riesgo, sobre todo las tierras de cementerios remotos que se pueden robar de forma sencilla.

Colette Loll, asesora senior de la SmartWater Foundation, el brazo sin ánimo de lucro de SmartWater Group, destacó: ‘Debido a su firma forense de SmartWater, estas importantes colecciones de museos se pueden seguir y repatriar si se roban o se realiza tráfico con ellos. Esencialmente, estamos poniendo el mercado del arte en conocimiento – los mercados forenses presentan un riesgo real para los vendedores Y compradores de utensilios robados».

Phil Cleary, consejero delegado de SmartWater Group, explicó: «Estamos encantados de lo que hemos conseguido gracias al apoyo de la implementación de esta iniciativa tan importante en Irak, ya que se ha alineado completamente con nuestro objetivo de reducir el riesgo de robo, independientemente de dónde suceda».

El proyecto permite que los objetos incalculables se sigan hasta el sitio en el que fueron robados, haciendo que sea más sencillo para las agencias de cumplimentación de la ley demostrar el robo, creando una disuasión potente frente a los posibles ladrones y traficantes.

Este proyecto tan innovador, liderado por el destacado arqueólogo, el profesor Roger Matthews, de la University of Reading, utiliza un líquido forense de preparación especial SmartWater para adherirse a la firma química única en los objetos del museo. La solución es invisible al simple ojo, y solo se puede detectar bajo una luz negra UV, mientras que los científicos solo necesitan recuperar una mota de SmartWater para demostrar en qué localización se ha robado el utensilio, la fecha de aplicación de la solución y por medio de quién.

Los test realizados por los científicos en la Reading University llegaron a la conclusión de que las causas líquidas forenses no dañaban la piedra, cerámica, metal o cristal, pudiendo resistir un calor intense, disolventes duros y condiciones medioambientales extremas durante décadas. Todos los costes de I+D contaron con los fondos de la SmartWater Foundation, brazo sin ánimo de lucro de SmartWater Group, una de las compañías de gestión de riesgo de crecimiento más rápido en el mundo.

El profesor Matthews comentó: «Los utensilios en las colecciones de museos con los que hemos trabajado con incalculables, en lo que respecta al valor cultural enorme que ofrecen para Irak. Esta iniciativa proporciona objetos eficaces a las huellas químicas, lo que les permite realizar el seguimiento si caen en las manos inadecuadas. Además, proporciona a las agencias de refuerzo de la ley las evidencias necesarias para detener y perseguir a los que se encuentren en posesión ilegal de utensilios».

Los utensilios incluyen piezas inorgánicas de todos los periodos del pasado de Irak; desde hachas de la edad de piedra hasta jarrones neolíticos que darán del año 7.000 antes de Cristo, cuando se crearon las primeras villas agrícolas del mundo. En 2003, durante la ocupación de Mosul por medio del ISIS entre los años 2014 y 2017, fueron saqueados frecuentemente de los museos, apareciendo posteriormente en los mercados de antigüedades internacionales.

El problema del robo de utensilios desde museos, sitios arqueológicos e históricos es cada vez mayor, y los templos en La India están siendo objetivos, además de los sitios arquitectónico en Sudamérica. En Estados Unidos, los sitios nativos americanos están en riesgo, sobre todo las tierras de cementerios remotos que se pueden robar de forma sencilla.

Colette Loll, asesora senior de la SmartWater Foundation, el brazo sin ánimo de lucro de SmartWater Group, destacó: ‘Debido a su firma forense de SmartWater, estas importantes colecciones de museos se pueden seguir y repatriar si se roban o se realiza tráfico con ellos. Esencialmente, estamos poniendo el mercado del arte en conocimiento – los mercados forenses presentan un riesgo real para los vendedores Y compradores de utensilios robados».

Phil Cleary, consejero delegado de SmartWater Group, explicó: «Estamos encantados de lo que hemos conseguido gracias al apoyo de la implementación de esta iniciativa tan importante en Irak, ya que se ha alineado completamente con nuestro objetivo de reducir el riesgo de robo, independientemente de dónde suceda».

  • Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) laser focused on protecting employees, families and communities
  • Best practices from FCA plants in China and Italy helping guide North American safety protocols
  • More than 57 million square feet of production floor cleaned and disinfected
  • Thorough daily cleaning schedules to be instituted to maintain enhanced levels of cleanliness and disinfection
  • Temperature checks and daily health self-screening required for all employees and visitors
  • Nearly 17,000 workstations analyzed for social distancing with more than 4,700 requiring redesign or modification
  • Staggered start times, increased break and lunch times implemented to increase social distancing
  • Installing thermal imaging cameras as added safety check
  • Masks and safety glasses to be required personal protection equipment
  • New safety protocols and procedures communicated in Return to Work package mailed to nearly 47,000 represented employees in the U.S. and Canada

As Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) prepares to resume its North American manufacturing operations, the Company has developed and is implementing a comprehensive program of enhanced safety measures to protect employees, their families and the surrounding communities from the spread and transmission of COVID-19 when the plants reopen.

«Above everything else, our top priority has always been to do what is right for our employees,» Mike Manley, FCA CEO, said. «We have worked closely with the unions to establish protocols that will ensure our employees feel safe at work and that every step possible has been taken to protect them.

«We have drawn on our collective global expertise and best practices to rethink our production processes to put in place comprehensive protocols to keep our workforce safe,» Manley said. «There is no question that coming to work will look and feel different. I have now visited several of our Detroit-area facilities, met with our teams and walked the floor. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank all of our colleagues who have done an incredible job putting in place safety protocols to protect our people. Thank you all.»

Since closing its plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico on March 18, FCA has been working to put in place best practices that have enabled the restart of operations at its facilities in China and Italy. Aligned with World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommendations, these robust protocols, along with the actions employees will be required to take to safeguard themselves and others, were communicated as part of a Return to Work package mailed to nearly 47,000 U.S. and Canadian represented employees. Mexico will share the same information through in-person training.

FCA is implementing layers of protection to combat the spread and transmission of COVID-19. This includes cleaning, disinfecting and social distancing, but most importantly, ensuring the wellness of everyone entering an FCA facility. With that in mind, the Company will require its employees, as well as all visitors, to complete a Daily Health Risk Assessment, which consists of:

  • Taking their temperature less than two hours before reporting to work or visiting the site with either a Company-provided temperature strip or personal thermometer
  • Completing a self-screening questionnaire and turning it in upon entry

As an added measure of safety, the Company is installing thermal imaging cameras to verify what employees and visitors have self-reported.

Consistent with the direction of governmental agencies, employees will be required to wear Company-provided masks and safety glasses at all times when in the facility. Employees will also be asked to wear gloves and safety glasses when applying or cleaning with disinfectant spray. Visitors and contractors to any FCA facility will be required to provide their own personal protection equipment for entry.

During the production pause, FCA completed a significant number of cleaning and social distancing activities to prepare its facilities for when operations resume. These include:

  • Cleaning and Disinfecting:
    • More than 57 million square feet of manufacturing floor space cleaned and disinfected
    • Enhanced cleaning and disinfecting schedules developed for common and high traffic areas, including turnstiles, restrooms, cafeterias, locker rooms and conference rooms
    • 135 hand-held foggers distributed for more efficient cleaning of these areas
    • Provided cleaning supplies at all workstations so surfaces can be cleaned and disinfected
    • Installed more than 2,000 hand sanitizer stations across all facilities
    • Daily audits to be conducted to ensure new standards are followed
  • Social Distancing:
    • More than 17,000 workstations analyzed and evaluated for adherence to six-foot social distancing guidelines
    • More than 4,700 job areas and workstations redesigned or protective barriers installed to allow for more social distancing
    • Installed plexiglass partitions and created visual management guides for social distancing in break areas and cafeterias, as well as throughout all buildings
    • Staggered start times and added time to breaks and lunch to minimize large gatherings
    • Suspended meetings of more than eight employees at a time and transitioned to virtual meetings, wherever possible
    • Put new approval protocols in place for facility visitors

Upon the restart of production, FCA is adopting a new level of daily cleaning and disinfecting, in accordance with WHO, CDC and OSHA recommendations, at all manufacturing locations in order to maintain the enhanced levels of cleanliness and sanitation. In addition to increasing the number of times per shift that high-traffic, high-use areas, as well as common touchpoints, are cleaned and disinfected, 10 minutes per shift will be dedicated to cleaning and disinfecting employee workstations.

Signage promoting the themes of health and safety have been posted throughout all facilities to remind employees and visitors of proper protocols related to cleaning, social distancing, required personal protection equipment and handwashing or sanitizing. Employees also will participate in small-group training sessions on the new policies and procedures as part of their first-day activities.

«We have taken a ‘belt and suspenders’ approach to mitigating the spread of this virus by implementing lots of layers of protection,» Scott Garberding, FCA’s Global Chief Manufacturing Officer, said. «You are a key part of successfully resuming operations. In this new environment, we all need to take responsibility for our own safety and that of the people around us. An effective start-up will require detailed understanding, teaching, coaching and patience from all of us.»

FCA will continue to monitor and audit conditions at all facilities, as well as the latest information on COVID-19 from federal and state agencies, to implement new safeguards and procedures as needed.

  • Las mejores prácticas de las plantas de FCA en China e Italia ayudan a guiar los protocolos de seguridad de Norteamérica
  • Más de 57 millones de pies cuadrados del espacio de producción limpiados y desinfectados
  • Se instituirán horarios de limpieza diaria minuciosos para mantener mejores niveles de limpieza y desinfección
  • Controles de temperatura y autoexamen de salud diario son requeridos para todos los empleados y visitantes
  • Cerca de 17,000 estaciones de trabajo fueron analizadas para cumplir los criterios de sana distancia y más de 4,700 fueron rediseñadas o modificadas para distanciamiento social
  • Diferentes horarios de entrada, mayores periodos de descanso y almuerzo implementados para aumentar el distanciamiento social
  • Instalación de cámaras termográficas como control de seguridad adicional
  • Máscaras y gafas de seguridad requeridas como parte del equipo de protección personal
  • Nuevos protocolos y procedimientos de seguridad comunicados a través del Paquete de Regreso al Trabajo enviado a casi 47,000 empleados en Estados Unidos y Canadá

Mientras FCA se prepara para reanudar sus operaciones de manufactura en Norteamérica, la Compañía ha desarrollado y está implementando un programa exhaustivo de mejores medidas de seguridad para proteger a los empleados, sus familias y las comunidades cercanas contra la propagación y transmisión del COVID-19 cuando las plantas vuelvan a abrir.

«Por encima de todo, nuestra principal prioridad siempre ha sido hacer lo correcto para nuestros empleados», dijo Mike Manley, CEO de FCA. «Hemos trabajado estrechamente con los sindicatos para establecer protocolos que garanticen que nuestros empleados se sientan seguros en el trabajo y que se hayan tomado todas las medidas posibles para protegerlos.

«Hemos recurrido a nuestra experiencia global colectiva y mejores prácticas para examinar nuestros procesos de producción para establecer protocolos exhaustivos para mantener a nuestros trabajadores seguros», dijo Manley. «No hay duda de que venir a trabajar se verá y se sentirá diferente. He visitado varias de nuestras instalaciones en el área de Detroit, me he reunido con nuestros equipos y he caminado por los espacios. Me gustaría aprovechar esta oportunidad para agradecer personalmente a todos nuestros colegas que han hecho un trabajo increíble al implementar protocolos de seguridad para proteger a nuestra gente. Gracias a todos.»

Desde que cerró sus plantas en Estados Unidos, Canadá y México el 18 de marzo, FCA ha estado trabajando para implementar las mejores prácticas que han permitido el reinicio de las operaciones en sus instalaciones en China e Italia. Siguiendo las recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), el Centro para el Control de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés) y la Administración de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (OSHA, por sus siglas en inglés), estos robustos protocolos, junto con las acciones que los empleados deberán tomar para salvaguardarse a sí mismos y a los demás se comunicaron como parte de un paquete de Regreso al Trabajo, enviado por correo a casi 47,000 empleados en Estados Unidos y Canadá. México compartirá la misma información a través de capacitación en persona.

FCA está implementando niveles de protección para combatir la propagación y transmisión del COVID-19. Esto incluye limpieza, desinfección y distanciamiento social, pero lo más importante, garantizar el bienestar de todos los que ingresan a las instalaciones de FCA. Con eso en mente, la Compañía requerirá que sus empleados, así como todos los visitantes, completen una evaluación diaria de riesgos de salud, que consiste en:

  • Tomar su temperatura en menos de dos horas antes de presentarse al trabajo o visitar el lugar ya sea con una tira para temperatura proporcionada por la Compañía o un termómetro personal
  • Completar un cuestionario de autoevaluación y entregarlo al ingresar

Como medida adicional de seguridad, la Compañía está instalando cámaras termográficas para verificar lo que los empleados y visitantes han reportado.

De acuerdo con la instrucción de las agencias gubernamentales, los empleados deberán usar máscaras y lentes de seguridad proporcionados por la Compañía en todo momento cuando estén en las instalaciones. También se les pedirá a los empleados que usen guantes y lentes de seguridad cuando apliquen o limpien con spray desinfectante. Los visitantes y contratistas de cualquier instalación de FCA deberán contar con su propio equipo de protección personal para ingresar.

Durante la pausa de producción, FCA completó un significativo número de actividades de limpieza y distanciamiento social para preparar sus instalaciones para cuando se reanuden las operaciones. Éstas incluyen:

  • Limpieza y Desinfección
    • Más de 57 millones de pies cuadrados de superficie del espacio de producción limpiada y desinfectada
    • Desarrollo de horarios mejorados de limpieza y desinfección para áreas comunes y de alto tráfico, que incluyen puertas giratorias, baños, cafeterías, vestidores y salas de conferencias.
    • 135 nebulizadores distribuidos para una limpieza más eficiente de estas áreas
    • Suministro de productos de limpieza en todas las estaciones de trabajo para que las superficies se puedan limpiar y desinfectar.
    • Instalación de más de 2,000 estaciones de desinfectante de manos en todas las áreas
    • Se realizarán auditorías diarias para garantizar que se sigan los nuevos protocolos
  • Distanciamiento Social
    • Más de 17,000 estaciones de trabajo analizadas y evaluadas para cumplir con las pautas de distanciamiento social de 6 pies
    • Más de 4,700 áreas de trabajo y estaciones de trabajo rediseñadas o instaladas con barreras protectoras para permitir un mayor distanciamiento social
    • Instalación de divisiones de plexiglás y se crearon guías visuales para el distanciamiento social en áreas de descanso y cafeterías, así como en todos los edificios
    • Diferentes horarios de entrada y tiempo adicional para descansos y almuerzos para minimizar grandes reuniones
    • Reuniones suspendidas con más de más de ocho empleados a la vez y transición a reuniones virtuales, siempre que sea posible
    • Nuevos protocolos de aprobación establecidos para visitantes a las instalaciones

Al reiniciar la producción, FCA adoptará un nuevo nivel de limpieza y desinfección diaria, de acuerdo con las recomendaciones de la OMS, CDC y OSHA, en todas las instalaciones de manufactura para mantener los niveles mejorados de limpieza y sanitización. Además de aumentar la cantidad de veces por turno que se limpian y desinfectan las áreas de alto uso, así como los puntos de contacto comunes, se dedicarán 10 minutos por turno a limpiar y desinfectar las estaciones de trabajo de los empleados.

Se colocarán carteles que promuevan los temas de salud y seguridad en todas las instalaciones para recordar a los empleados y visitantes los protocolos adecuados relacionados con la limpieza, el distanciamiento social, el equipo de protección personal requerido y el lavado o desinfección de manos. Los empleados también participarán en sesiones de capacitación en grupos pequeños sobre las nuevas políticas y procedimientos como parte de sus actividades del primer día.

«Hemos adoptado un enfoque de ‘cinturón y tirantes’ para mitigar la propagación de este virus mediante la implementación de muchos niveles de protección», dijo Scott Garberding, responsable de manufactura global de FCA. «Nuestros trabajadores son una parte clave para reanudar con éxito las operaciones. En este nuevo entorno, todos debemos asumir la responsabilidad de nuestra propia seguridad y la de las personas que nos rodean. Un retorno efectivo requerirá una comprensión detallada, enseñanza, entrenamiento y paciencia de todos nosotros».

FCA continuará monitoreando y controlando las condiciones en todas las instalaciones, así como la información más reciente sobre el COVID-19 de agencias federales y estatales para implementar nuevas protecciones y procedimientos según sea necesario.
