Safe factory operations in a post-pandemic environment

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues for a third year, as business operations attempt to resume normally, and as public health guidelines keep changing, the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) has updated the guidance previously created with Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) — AAFA’s Corporate Social Responsibility Partner — to enable safer factory operations during the “new normal” we currently face. As guidance changes and operations try to adhere to them, it is critical for management to maintain heightened health and safety protocols for workers to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. As such, please note this guidance replaces and updates the AAFA/WRAP Guidance for the Continued Safe Operations of Factories During COVID-19.
