DIRECTORS<br />
These are highly unusual times<br />
we’re living in, and I fear that<br />
even as I write this message,<br />
by the time it gets to you, the<br />
situation will be drastically<br />
different. We’re in largely<br />
uncharted territory with the<br />
pandemic that’s upon us, and<br />
it’s our responsibility to know all<br />
we can and to do all we can in<br />
our capacity as chief engineers<br />
to prevent the spread of this<br />
disease.<br />
That’s why we’ve dedicated<br />
this month’s cover story to<br />
information about COVID-19 and<br />
how chief engineers should be fine-tuning their response to this crisis.<br />
We have tried to be as comprehensive and current in our discussion of<br />
this virus as possible, but we encourage you to stay up to date on any<br />
information from relevant health agencies that may impact the facilities<br />
you maintain. We encourage you to have a look at OSHA’s “Guidance<br />
on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19” (currently available on the<br />
homepage at OSHA.gov) and to further develop whatever prevention<br />
and response plan you have thus far enacted.<br />
As all of this unfolds, and we remain diligent as we work to protect<br />
the people and environments in the buildings we maintain, let’s also<br />
be mindful that the better we all do our jobs — from observing best<br />
practices in our facilities to washing our hands and exercising social<br />
distancing — we can minimize the number of those infected, and keep<br />
the doctors and nurses on the front lines of this pandemic from being<br />
overwhelmed, which they very well may be by the time you read this.<br />
Let’s keep them in mind as they mind their patients and risk their own<br />
health for that of their communities, and resolve to do our best in the<br />
face of this great uncertainty.<br />
