    Manufacturing Activities During the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency

    INTERIM GUIDANCE FOR MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES DURING THE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY When you have read this document, you can affirm at the bottom. As of June 26, 2020 Purpose This Interim Guidance for Manufacturing Activities during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (“Interim COVID-19 Guidance for Manufacturing”) was created to provide owners/operators of manufacturing sites and their employees and contractors with precautions to help protect against the spread of COVID-19 as manufacturing sites reopen. These guidelines are minimum requirements only and any employer is free to provide additional precautions or increased restrictions. These guidelines are based on the best-known public health practices at the time of Phase I of the State’s reopening, and the documentation upon which these guidelines are based can and does change frequently. The Responsible Parties – as defined below – are accountable for adhering to all local, state and federal requirements relative to manufacturing activities. The Responsible Parties are also accountable for staying current with any updates to these requirements, as well as incorporating same into any manufacturing activities and/or Site Safety Plan. Background On March 7, 2020, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo issued Executive Order 202, declaring a state of emergency in response to COVID-19. Community transmission of COVID-19 has occurred throughout New York. To minimize further spread, social distancing of at least six feet must be maintained between individuals, where possible. On March 20, 2020, Governor Cuomo issued Executive Order 202.6, directing all non-essential businesses to close in-office personnel functions. Essential businesses, as defined by Empire State Development Corporation (ESD) guidance, were not subject to the in-person restriction, but were, however, directed to comply with the guidance and directives for maintaining a clean and safe work environment issued by the New York State Department of Health (DOH), and were strongly urged to maintain social distancing measures to the extent possible.

The footwear industry had the largest productivity gain with an increase of 14.5 percent. (See chart 1.) Three out of the four industries in the mining sector posted productivity declines in 2020, with the greatest decline occurring in the metal ore mining industry with a decrease of 6.7 percent. Although more mining and manufacturing industries recorded productivity gains in 2020 than 2019, declines in both output and hours worked were widespread. Output fell in over 90 percent of detailed industries in 2020 and 87 percent had declines in hours worked. Seventy-two industries had declines in both output and hours worked in 2020. This was the greatest number of such industries since 2009. Within this set of industries, 35 had increasing labor productivity. Chart 1.

VELAZQUEZ Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, School of Aeronautics, Aerospace Propulsión and Fluid Mechanics Department, Plaza del Cardenal Cisneros 3, 28040 Madrid, Spain. E-mail: [email protected] This paper describes the methodology that has been developed and implemented at the School of Aeronautics (ETSIA) of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) to familiarize aerospace engineering students with the operation ofreal complexjet engine systems. This methodology has a two-pronged approach: students carry out preparatory work by using, first, a gas turbine performance prediction numerical code; then they valídate their assumptions and results on an experimental test rig. When looking at the educational aspects, we have taken care that, apartfrom being sufficiently robust and flexible, the experimental set-up is similar to real jet engine rigs, so the students are not constrained to exploring a much too limited parametric space. Also, because a facility like this is usually subject to extensive and somewhat rugged use, we have focused on a low cosí design.
