Cleanliness and safety have been at the core of our industry since its beginning. Taking care of our guests and employees well-being is the essence of what we do. The recent Coronavirus pandemic has challenged this sense of well-being as it has impacted our economy, industry, and individual lives. Yet, working together, as one united industry, we can reassure everyone that hotels remain among the safest places for business, leisure, and employment.
Long before the Coronavirus, hotels were dedicated to cleaning at the highest standards. It is in this spirit that the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) recently launched Safe Stay ? a commitment to enhanced cleaning measures and safety guidelines that help us meet and exceed the concerns created during the pandemic.
Hotel guests and employees deserve the peace of mind in knowing that our industry is united behind a common set of cleaning and safety practices which can be applied to any and every hotel. Safe Stay was created in accordance with guidance issued by public health authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
We are proud to have all major U.S. Hotel brands, travel & hospitality associations, along with individual hospitality associations from all 50 states endorse Safe Stay. This is truly an historic industry-wide commitment to our top priority ? the health and safety of guests and employees.
AHLA President & CEO
CDC guidelines should govern employee procedures and protocols regarding hand washing and use of hand sanitizer. Washing hands with soap and water is the preferable method. In situations where soap/water is not available, alcohol-based sanitizer is recommended. Added attention should be given to ensure adequate soap products are available in restroom sinks, employee washing stations, and other areas for hand washing. Hand sanitizer dispensers should include no less than 60% alcohol content, where available, and touchless where possible. As available, dispensers should be placed at key guest and employee entrances and contact areas. At a minimum, this will include lobby reception areas and employee entrances, but could also include any other reception areas, entire hotel lobby areas, restaurant entrances, meeting spaces, elevator landings, pools, exercise areas and other public areas as applicable to the property.
During all times in which the usage of face coverings are recommended by the CDC and/or other local health authorities, health and hygiene reminders should be placed at high-traffic areas on property, including the front lobby area at a minimum, indicating the proper way to wear, handle and dispose of coverings.
Responding swiftly and reporting to local health officials any presumed cases of COVID-19 at the hotel property should be a staff-wide requirement. Employees exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 should remain or return home. While at work, employees who notice a coworker or guest exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 should immediately contact a manager. At a minimum, hotels should follow CDC guidelines for employers and businesses, including instructing employees to self-isolate for the required amount of time, as defined by the CDC, from the onset of symptoms and be symptom-free for at least three days without medication.
In accordance with CDC guidelines, an enterprise-level hazard assessment of the workplace should be conducted to identify potential workplace hazards related to COVID-19.
Well-being checks of all employees, including virtual health checks, should be carried out in accordance with CDC guidelines and/or as required by law. Please refer to CDC's General Business Frequently Asked Questions for more information on best practices for employee health checks.
Confirmed cases of COVID-19 should be immediately reported to local health authorities in accordance with appropriate actions recommended by the CDC. The confidentiality of guest or employees suspected of being infected of COVID-19 should be protected as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and, if applicable, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
If not wearing protective gloves, all employees should follow CDC guidance regarding handwashing and use of hand sanitizer. Employees should wash their hands for at least 20 seconds, or use sanitizer when a sink is not available, after any of the following activities: using the restroom, sneezing, touching the face, cleaning, smoking, eating, drinking, accepting items from a guest (ID, cash, credit card, key card), taking a break, and before a shift and as needed throughout the shift.
In accordance with CDC guidelines, employees will use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol and cover all surfaces of the hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Also, housekeeping staff should clean hands or change gloves between cleaning guest rooms. When possible, employees should wear gloves for added protection and sanitation efforts. Proper hand hygiene, in accordance with CDC guidelines, should be followed prior to and after removing the gloves.
All employees should receive COVID-19 safety and facility sanitation protocols training recommendations from the CDC with more comprehensive training, consistent with the CDC, for employees with frequent guest contact including Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, Public Area Department, Hotel Operations, Security, Valet/Door/Bell Services, and Maintenance/Engineering.
CDC recommendations along with federal and local government regulations should dictate appropriate use of face covering, glove use, physical distancing and cleaning/disinfecting. These steps, along with appropriate training for use and disposal, should be made available to any employee upon request. Please refer to OSHA for more information.
