At the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center (CCCC) we care deeply about our employees, community, clients and guests. When we modified operations in March, we did so in the best interest of our community and clients.

Currently, Charleston, WV is well positioned relative to many other regions. The strong support of the tourism, leisure, and hospitality sector places our community at an advantage. Our collaboration and adherence to the current CDC Guidelines, federal guidelinesand the Comeback Plan from Governor Jim Justicehas enabled the CCCC to incrementally host modified events.

This plan presents what we will do to keep our guests, employees, and community safe. Each division and Service Partner may have their own customized set of procedures, even more detailed than the summary presented here. This plan relies on the best available science and research on sanitization methods, in consultation with Kanawha County’s Health Department.

We will continue to refine and update this plan with the CCCC Board of Directors and experts provide us more advice and we will work with each client to review their event and attendee guidelines.

The health and safety of our employees and guests is our number one priority.These guidelines pertain to all CCCC employees and Service Partners.

WV Statewide Indoor Face Covering Requirement

Physical Distancing

The CCCC Event Coordinators will work with Event Planners on the guidelines for specific events and participants.In public areas, practice physical distancing by standing at least six feet from other groups of people while standing in lines, using elevators or moving around the property. Table rounds, chairs, seating areas and other physical layouts will be arranged to ensure appropriate distancing. Employees will be reminded not to touch their faces and to practice physical distancing by standing at least six feet away from guests and other employees whenever possible. All meeting rooms will comply with, or exceed, local or state mandated occupancy limits. Non-contracted spaces will be monitored by staff. No handshakes.

Hand Sanitizers

Hand sanitizer dispensers, touchless whenever possible, will be placed at key guest and employee entrances and contact areas such as reception areas, entrances, stairs, elevator, escalator landings in CCCC public spaces.

Public Spaces and Communal Front of the House Areas

The CCCC staff conducts daily cleaning of all door handles throughout the facility. The frequency of cleaning and sanitizing has been increased in all public spaces with an emphasis on frequent contact surfaces including countertops, escalators, elevators, and elevator buttons, vending machines, door handles, public bathrooms, ATMs, stair and escalator handrails, dining surfaces, all seating areas and tables.

Front of the House Signage

Health and hygiene reminders will be placed throughout the property including the proper way to wear, handle and dispose of masks. Posted signage and electronic signs will also be used for messaging and communication.

Back of the House Areas

The frequency of cleaning and sanitizing will be increased in high traffic back of house areas, with an emphasis on the employee break rooms, employee entrances, control rooms, employee restrooms, loading docks, offices, kitchens, service desks and back of house rooms.

Back of the House Signage

Signage will be posted throughout the property reminding employees of the proper way to wear, handle and dispose of masks, appropriate use of gloves (in positions deemed appropriate by medical experts), hand washing guidance, appropriate sneezing and coughing protocols, and reminders to not touch their face.

Case Notification

If we are alerted to a presumptive case of COVID-19 at the CCCC, we will work with the Kanawha County Health Department to follow the appropriate actions recommended.

CCCC Employees are vital for an effective sanitation and health program

Employee Health Concerns

Employees are instructed to stay home if they do not feel well and to contact their supervisor if they notice a coworker or guest with a cough, shortness of breath, or other known symptoms of COVID-19. Employees who are exhibiting any of the symptoms of COVID-19 on property are instructed to immediately notify their supervisor.

COVID-19 Training

All employees will receive training on COVID-19 safety and sanitation protocols with more comprehensive training for our teams with frequent guest contact including food and beverage, event operations, exhibitor services and security.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Appropriate masks and gloves will be worn by all employees based on their role and responsibilities and in adherence to state or local regulations and guidance. Training on how to properly use and dispose of all PPE will be mandatory. Every employee entering the CCCC will be provided with a facemask and be required to wear that mask while on property. Gloves will be provided to employees whose responsibilities require them as determined, including any public area attendants and event personnel in direct contact with guests.

Daily Pre-Shift & Timekeeping

Employee pre-shift meetings will be conducted virtually or in areas that allow for appropriate physical distancing between employees. Larger departments will stagger employee arrival times to minimize traffic volume in back-of-house corridors and service elevators. Hand sanitizer will be available at each time clock location and employees will be required to sanitize their hands after clocking in. Our management team will ensure constant communication and proper PPE and sanitation procedures are followed and updated per the latest expert guidance.

The top priority for the CCCC is protecting employees, clients and the community. An essential element of our sanitation strategy includes the introduction of two forward-thinking cleaning solutions and the continued use of industrial strength scrubbing machines for coliseum and exhibit halls. The CCCC uses cleaning products and protocols that meet EPA guidelines and are approved for use and effective against viruses, bacteria and other airborne pathogens. We are working with our vendors, distribution partners and suppliers to ensure an uninterrupted supply of these cleaning supplies and the necessary PPE.

Cleaning Systems

The CCCC is using electrostatic sprayers with disinfectant and ozonated water as a cleaning agent on an as needed basis within the facility.With several systems on hand, the CCCC’s green cleaning ozonated water systems utilize oxygen as a disinfectant. Compared with chlorine, the most common liquid disinfectant chemical, ozone acts as a stronger and faster disinfectant agent in destroying viruses and bacteria -the liquefied ozone is used as a cleaning agent for deep cleaning the carpets and scrubbing exhibit hall floors. This process will be enhanced by the use of foggers and used to fog out restrooms, offices and high traffic spaces.

Industrial Grade Scrubbing Machines

The CCCC utilizes industrial powered machines to sanitize and scrub coliseum and exhibit hall floors. The M70 Ride-On Sweeper-Scrubber and Tennant Ride-On Floor Scrubber machines deliver exceptional sweeping and scrubbing technology and is used to clean coliseum and exhibit hall floors after every event. These heavy-duty floor scrubbers are engineered with innovative features and substantial scrubbing power for heavy-duty, edge-to-edge cleaning in exhibit halls. The machine electrically infuses water with oxygen bubbles to create highly oxygenated water to attack and break down the dirt into small particles that is easily pulled away by the scrubber’s pad –without the use of harsh cleaners.

Hand Washing Areas

There are 174 restroom sinks at the CCCC that are equipped with germicidal antibacterial soap. Correct hygiene and frequent handwashing with soap is vital to help combat the spread of virus. All CCCC employees have been instructed to wash their hands, or use hand sanitizer when a sink is not available.

Hand Sanitizing

In addition to the 38 Purell hand sanitizer stations, the CCCC is also incorporating environmentally friendly solutions into their sanitation strategy, by securing an additional new line of hand sanitizers.

CCCC Administration Office

Employees will utilize very well-spaced workstations to ensure separation between employees whenever possible.
