Detroit Chassis Family:

We are committed to providing you the most current updates on steps that Detroit Chassis (DCP) is taking as a response to the current COVID-19 Virus.

Currently, we have two confirmed cases of the Coronavirus at DCP: One (1) confirmed case among our Security Team, and another one (1) among the union associates.

As a part of the Detroit Department of Health protocol and CDC guidelines, the following steps were taken by Detroit Chassis LLC:

  • A comprehensive list of the identified areas of exposure include: C2, Quality Department,
    The Vision Center, Rolls Test and the DCP front office area.
  • Associates in the identified affected areas were individually contacted by phone call and
    notified of possible exposure to COVID-19.
  • Associates were asked to self-quarantine until April 6, 2020 and asked to monitor their
    temperature twice a day, and report any increases or COVID-19 related symptoms
    immediately to the Human Resources Department.
  • Visitors, Contractors and Customers were notified and highly recommended to take the same
    precautions.

The entire facility has been cleaned, sanitized, and under quarantine, and will remain closed until April 6, 2020.

In addition, we shall continue to monitor and communicate with Detroit Chassis Associates who are ill, under their physician’s care, or are hospitalized.

We encourage everyone to reach out to co-workers and family members to keep each other well informed and safe as we cope with these unparallel times.

Remember to Stay Home, and Stay Safe to Save Lives, and always keep one another in prayer!
