COVID-19 UPDATES
What’s Happening At CRW

We understand these times are challenging for everyone! We are grateful that we are able to continue serving our community safely

UPDATED 10/07/20 BD VERITOR COVID TESTING KITS ACQUIRED

Similar to the testing kits that commercial airlines are utilizing for preboarding to Honolulu, Commercial Roofing has acquired BD Veritor COVID19 testing devices and kits in an effort to quickly respond to future interactions of our employees with individuals on a project who may test positive.

These kits will allow us to test our employees to quickly identify if they should be quarantined or able to continue on the job. As we work with clients, vendors and subcontractors daily, interacting with someone COVID19 positive is always a risk. We want to ensure that we can safely and confidently keep our projects moving forward while keeping health and safety at the forefront.

The health and wellness of our local communities are of utmost importance to us as we continue to service our clients. We know that “together” we will get through the ever-changing COVID-19 situation.

SANITATION STATIONS ON JOB-SITES


Commercial Roofing has provided Mobile Sanitation Stations to be implemented at every on-going jobsite to provide easy access to hand-washing for our men to help with promoting safe and healthy work environments through-out the work day.

Our crews accessing buildings will be able to sanitize their hands before, during and after work being done to maximize safe and healthy conditions.

The Sanitation Stations also have 6′ distance markers to be positioned for social distancing requirements.

The stations were designed with the intent for zero impact to the jobsite. Handwash wastewater will be removed from each jobsite and disposed of properly to minimize the spread of unnecessary potentially harmful material.


Everyday seems to bring a new challenge in fighting the coronavirus spread. Limited supplies and PPE that first responders and front line medical professionals desperately need – are scarce. But in light of limited supplies – we are finding creative ways to do our part in protecting our men and our clients!
