KONE BACK TO WORK MANUAL
TOGETHER LET'S KEEP OURSELVES SAFE & HEALTHY IN THE NEW NORMAL
Safety has always ben a priority at KONE. More so now, than ever before, it is up to us to ensure our own safety and that of our customers. Let us work together to ensure that we follow the guidelines and safety measures that have been painstakingly put in place.
This document has been created as your quick reference guide so that you get familiar with all the mandatory safety protocols that we need to practice in order to continue working while the COVID-19 pandemic remains a real threat. These safety measures across our offices have been created keeping in mind our day to day work requirements. I request each one of you to take these measures seriously and practice them diligently.
The objective of this document is to get you familiar with the ‘new way’ of working as we have been repeatedly advised by the World Health Organization that the COVID-19 is here to stay and we need to define a new normal so that we can continue to work. So I once again urge that each of you follow the safety protocols while also helping your colleagues to do the same.
Once we consciously practice them, we will get habituated to them. And they will soon become our new normal at work. Looking forward to your cooperation.
Regards,
Amit Gossain
