Florida is currently in Phase Three of Governor DeSantis' reopening plan, Plan for Florida’s Recovery. The state has laid out minimum requirements all business must meet to reopen, as well as additional industry-specific Florida COVID requirements to supplement them.
Among the minimum COVID requirements are education and training for employees. All workers (full-time, part-time, contract, etc.) must be provided free training during working hours. The training must cover proper mask usage, cleaning and sanitation, health checks, and more. Businesses not in compliance are subject to fines of $500 or up to $15,000 for repeat offenders.
Opus has developed COVID training programs that comply with Florida COVID requirements and OSHA safety guidelines. Opus's text-based training is accessible to your employees and enables you to promote a safe workplace for your staff and customers.

The simplicity of employees going directly to their phones not needing a login is worth its weight in gold. Opus ensured everybody was getting the same information, that we could just follow up and make sure that our employees were all on the same page and understood the basics of COVID-19 and how to handle that in the restaurant.
