<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 4695485, member: 6641&quot;]I work in a manufacturing plant and covid has completely disrupted the national and global supply chain and social distancing has created many challenges in an environment where we can move things around.&nbsp; I am also one of the leaders of our EHS program so I have to understand what the different health bodies are recommending for working safely in a pandemic.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have visited multiple mints and the rooms I had access to had many employees working in spaces that exceed what I would feel safe with.&nbsp; The press operators are all in the same space, so if one tests positive, they could lose and entire shift of highly skilled operators.&nbsp; The coin presses do not move and they are lined up one after another.&nbsp; For the areas visitors cannot see, god only (and mint employees) know what struggles they have with social distancing.&nbsp; Cleaning and storage areas likely have limited entry points and common touch points.&nbsp; Packaging I can imagine being similar to work spaces found in tech packaging plants.&nbsp; Here they may have some ability to social distance but security likely also makes this challenging.&nbsp; We can move pallets of packaging around even if its difficult.&nbsp; WIP work in progress for the mint must be a nightmare to manage.&nbsp; It&#039;s awfully easy to say poppycock if you are not the one dealing with the challenges of working safely during a pandemic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
