Overview

To our loyal readers we send our warmest regards and greetings. To those

reading for the first time, it’s fair to say the last 10 weeks of running this

newsletter, we have covered some ground. From features on Westlite’s

advanced security technology, to the various teams, and their efforts on the

ground, to the kind hearted donors that have contributed gifts and food to our

residents. We’ve kept track of all the activities, contests and entertainment

provided for our residents during the course of lockdown. And, for the last two

weeks we’ve been focusing on getting back to work; what’s required of each

stakeholder; what are the measures being put in place, and this week we will

talk about employer briefings. All employers will be briefed by Westlite staff,

closer to the date their workers will be returning to work. We’ll highlight to you

exactly what’s involved in setting up a briefing session for employers, and the

timelines involved. The good news for employers is that we’re targeting to have

cleared works resuming work next week being the week of 20th July. Although

information can change very quickly, this is currently the expectation we’re

working towards

What is involved in organizing employer

briefings?

Approximately 7 days before workers are

targeted to be heading back to work, Westlite’s

site teams (with support from HQ staff and

government agencies) kick into gear with a

video shoot on-site. Preparations include

creating video content for worker training

material as well as instructional video’s for

employers which, detail new processes

involved in workers, leaving and returning from

the dormitory, downloading of the 3 government

mandated apps and usage of MyMA. These

video material are uploaded on to the Westlite

YouTube channel after they are shown during

the employer briefing sessions

HIGHLIGHTS (Cont’d)

What format is the briefing presentation?

The Westlite team will create presentations with

relevant materials that are specific to each

dormitory location. Things like pick-up and drop-

off routes will be different from dorm to dorm. In

some cases, there may also be process

differences between blocks, so it’s important for

employers to follow only the presentation

material specified in your designated briefing.

Where will the briefing be held

Approximately 2 days before the briefing, Westlite will send out a zoom invitation

to those employers that should attend. Employers will use the login details provide

to login to the zoom call to attend the briefing in a virtual setting. The briefing will

take place approximately 3 days before the workers will actually be able to

resume work. The following day after the briefing, employers will receive the

briefing slides and the video content to review.

Once the briefing has taken place and employers have logged into the portal to

update particulars, the block/dorm is expected to be cleared the following day.

Workers are then expected to resume work the day after dorm/block is cleared

How are the residents briefed

A briefing session will be held for resident as

well, to run through the safe entry and exit

processes, as well as the use of the 3

government apps + the MyMA app which, all

form an integral part of the compliance process

in clearing dorms for work.

There will also be a trial run of the safe

exit/entry process with a sample of residents, to

ensure that both residents and dormitory staff

have put in place the necessary protocols

correctly and movement can be managed

smoothly and safely within the new regulations

What do the new entry exit procedures entail?

The various shots with the blue frame are

examples of how the site teams prepare the

dorms for safe entry and exit. Sanitizer mats for

feet, automatic hand sanitizer stations and

extensive security checks are now part of the

entry/exit procedure
