Reopening Checklist.pdf

The State Bar of Michigan developed a reopening toolkit for law offices, providing guidance on transitioning back to in-office operations while prioritizing staff and client health and safety. The toolkit includes checklists for preparing essential protocols, people, and workplaces, such as developing a COVID-19 preparedness plan, designating responsible employees, and conducting training. It also covers pre-opening preparations, including consulting with employees, developing staggered work schedules, and recognizing anxiety and childcare difficulties. The toolkit provides guidance on preparing the workplace, including initial cleaning, scheduling inspections, and optimizing airflow, as well as adopting daily protocols for cleaning and disinfecting. Additionally, it covers adopting workspace protocols, such as creating a social distancing blueprint, prohibiting social gatherings, and limiting meetings, as well as developing protocols for entryways, reception areas, and limiting visits to essential visitors.
