A toolkit and guidance on pandemic planning for landlords has been made available by BOMA Canada. In the guidance BOMA Canada recommends several important actions which commercial landlords are encouraged to take immediately, including: tenant education, hygiene, and communications:
Tenant education
Order educational posters and place then in building lobbies to proactively begin a pandemic education program. There are two sets of posters available from BOMA; the first gives tenants and visitors clear messaging to prevent the spread of illness prior to the onset of a pandemic, while the second provides information for buildings operating under pandemic conditions. The posters are available to order on-line at www.posterone.com/bomacanada
Tenant hygiene
Install sanitizing agents in common areas and ensure you have sufficient supply on hand to keep the stations filled. Not only will this encourage the early adoption of improved personal hygiene practices (crucial to limiting the spread of illness), it will also help ensure you have sufficient stockpiles of sanitizing products should supplies become limited.
Tenant communications
Adapt and issue BOMA’s tenant letter to demonstrate your firm’s commitment to taking proactive measures designed to help protect tenants and support business continuity planning. (The tenant letter template can be found in appendix 1 in the BOMA Toolkit).
