How Jacobus Energy is keeping customers and employees safe

Jacobus Energy has always been a leader in National Disaster/Emergency Response events.  We are being challenged today with this new type of situation. We continue to work with many companies that transport supplies and goods that will be needed throughout the country for medical and humanitarian support.  Utility companies, government agencies, hospitals and medical groups will need generator fills to keep their facilities running.  We are dedicated to supporting our customers until this epidemic subsides.

To help control the spread of the coronavirus, Jacobus Energy has implemented the following to help control this virus:

• Effective March 13, 2020, we changed our procedure to only provide electronic delivery tickets. This procedure has been established to safeguard customer’s employees as well as our drivers.
• All drivers and employees have been instructed to follow the suggested guidelines of “Social Distancing” (6-foot distance) between their fellow co-workers as well as any customer employees they may be in contact with.  We are hoping that all customers and partners are following these same guidelines.  Our drivers have been instructed to report any incidents where this does not occur as their safety and health impacts keeping our business running. 
• Branch operations are sanitizing high touch surfaces in our offices, our trucks, our point of sale data capture devices, hoses and nozzles. 
• We continue to use best practices when cleaning our facility at our corporate and branch offices.  All cleaning services have upgraded their disinfectant to a hospital grade solution that ensures a cleaner environment.

Other recommendations that can help you prepare for future disruptions caused by this virus:

• Have any standby generators filled or topped off. There have been no supply disruptions and we do not anticipate any issues, but it is a good practice to monitor standby fuel for any emergency that may arise.
• Stocking up on necessary supplies that are critical to your ongoing business operations.
• Review your emergency response plans to set procedures for employees who can work remotely from home.
• Continue to monitor the situation by checking reliable sources such as the Centers for Disease Control.
