Teck is implementing extensive preventative measures across its offices and operations in order to safeguard the health of our employees, while continuing to operate safely and responsibly maintain employment and economic activity.

我们正在密切监控和指导from public health agencies and government.

Measures in place at Teck’s sites include:

• Reducing or eliminating in person meetings and other large gatherings
• Enhanced cleaning and disinfecting protocols, including frequent disinfecting of employee buses and work areas
• Promoting personal preventative measures, such as frequent handwashing
• Screening all contractors and external visitors to site for risk factors and symptoms
• Increasing social distancing practices at site, such as reducing the number of passengers on buses; separating groups of employees at work; cancelling large group meetings; changing meetings from in-person to electronic, e.g. holding crew meetings by radio
• Requiring employees who show symptoms or are in close contact with someone with symptoms to stay home from work
• Requiring employees returning from international travel to self-isolate
• Reducing the number of on-site staff as much as possible; implementing work from home where feasible
• Expanded sick leave coverage for affected employees

Other measures being put into place at Teck’s operations include:

• All Teck corporate offices globally have been closed and remote work implemented for all employees able to do so
• B.C. and Alberta mining operations are temporarily slowing down operations and further reducing crews by up to 50% of regular levels for an initial period of approximately 2 weeks, after which we will re-evaluate in light of the evolving situation
• Construction activities at the Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 (QB2) project have been suspended to ensure employee safety and support Chilean efforts to limit transmission of COVID-19

Teck is taking the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously. By working together, we can limit the spread and look after ourselves, our families and each other.
