Governor Grisham's reopening plan for New Mexico outlines Safe Practices applicable to all employers, as well as industry-specific COVID guidelines. The Safe Practices for all businesses are divided into two sections––requirements and encouraged best practices. Businesses not in compliance can now be fined up to $5,000 a day.
The New Mexico COVID requirements entail training all employees on hygiene and sanitation best practices, screening employees before they enter the workplace (verbal or written), maintaining 6 feet of distance, and encouraging employees to work remotely as much as possible. Posting signage and developing more stringent safety and disinfecting protocols is required for public-facing industries such as retail and restaurants.
Opus has developed COVID training programs that comply with both New Mexico COVID guidelines and OSHA safety requirements. 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.
