Selective body temperature measurements are being taken at the points of entry to the NLMK Lipetsk site and office premises. Communal areas have been supplied with sanitizer dispensers and disinfectants. Contactless alcohol testers are now disinfected four times per day.
Gatherings of staff are being reduced through adjustments to shift schedules and the working hours of administrative staff and catering facilities. The number of in-person meetings has been reduced and meetings with a large number of attendees are being held via video conferencing.
Guidance materials are being handed out to in-house and contractor staff to raise awareness of the necessary preventive measures.
