Your Health and Safety

SAFER-FOR-YOU EQUIPMENT USE

Where possible, class materials are single-use, individually wrapped items.

Most shared equipment use has been eliminated.

Only in BLS groups will students limitedly share a manikin (each attendee will still have their own manikin to demonstrate rescue breaths).

FACE COVERINGS

Mask-less participation is permitted for attendees who demonstrate being fully vaccinated at least 2 weeks prior to in-person attendance.

Attendees without demonstration of full vaccination are welcome to attend:

• in person with a mask that covers both nose and mouth, or

• in a Live Online Experience.

* Masks are available for sale.

UPDATED TRAINING STANDARDS

Some training standards by AHA, American Red Cross, and ASHI have been temporarily adjusted for your safety.

INSTRUCTOR / HOST POSITION

For the safety of our attendees, although our staff is fully vaccinated, we still maintain physical distance from attendees when possible.

MODIFIED AMENITIES

Our legendary Hospitality Lounges are temporarily closed. Coffee and tea service is also on hold.

Good news, though - we’re still offering snacks! All snacks are individually packaged and sanitized on outer surfaces.

Participants who have demonstrated full vaccination are welcome to munch and drink within our facility.

For the time being, other participants are welcome to grab something tasty to enjoy outside, during breaks.

CASHLESS TRANSACTIONS

For now, all transactions are cashless to limit the spread of COVID-19.

*Please speak to someone at Purple if you must use cash. We can safely accommodate this in special circumstances.

CLEANING & DISINFECTING

We’ll be honest - this part hasn’t changed for us. Sanitization has always been a top priority for us. We continue to disinfect every single item and surface before AND after each class or event.

Disinfectants include Lysol and Clorox products, in addition to peroxide solution cleaners.

AIR FILTRATION & CLEANING

Purple facilities have HEPA filter air cleaning systems in place to limit the spread of long-range airborne particles.

INCREASED VENTILATION

Where possible, there may be increased ventilation systems in place to lower the concentrations of potential indoor air pollutants or contaminants. These systems utilize open doors and windows, as well as fans and updated designs to facilities.

ARRIVAL WINDOWS

Attendees now enter Purple up to 15 minutes before your scheduled class or event. This way, we limit time spent in a shared space.

QUICK ENTRY

Waiting areas are suspended until further notice. We kindly ask that attendees either wait outside or in their vehicles until it is time to enter.

COVID SYMPTOM & RISK SCREENING

Prior to entry, everyone is screened for COVID-related symptoms. We check your temperature and conduct a quick interview.

CONTACT TRACING & INFORMATION

Our team members are tested for COVID in any event of known exposure, or if symptomatic. In the event of any positive test results, we will participate in contact tracing.

We will also share that information with each participant the infected staff member may have been in contact with while positive for COVID.

FACILITY OPENING / CLOSURES

If a staff member ever tests positive and was in a facility within the previous 7 days, that center will close for 24-30 hours to allow for additional cleaning, disinfecting, and ventilation.

CLEANING & DISINFECTING

In the event of a COVID case at a Purple facility, we will spend extra time disinfecting every surface, and exposed or recently used items.

QUARANTINING

Purple team members must quarantine for 14 days if they test positive.
