With our ongoing focus on the health and safety of our employees, customers, carrier partners, and drivers, Amazon is adding additional preventative measures in our U.S. Operations buildings. We will be requiring a daily temperature check for everyone entering the building, including contractors and visitors. As a part of this effort we are asking your drivers and other employees to take their temperature each day before they arrive at their first pick up location or our buildings, starting immediately. If an individual’s temperature is above 38.0ºC or 100.4°F, they cannot run their scheduled route or work that day - you should immediately send the driver home, ensuring to limit any contact. Drivers should not return to work until fever-free for 72 hours without medication.
Further, at main entrances to our buildings, we will be conducting daily temperature checks for everyone entering the building. This change will go into effect at different times for each building with all buildings being implemented as quickly as procedures and necessary equipment are available. On-site temperature checks will not be conducted at yard or driver entrances. If drivers or other carrier employees (e.g., driver managers) enter our buildings through the main entrance, they will be required to participate in on-site temperature checks to gain entrance in addition to existing security requirements. Anyone at our buildings who has a temperature over 38.0ºC or 100.4ºF is to return home. Individuals are asked not return to work until they are 72 hours fever free without medication. This includes all Amazon Associates, vendors and contractors.
