Advantages of the immunity certificate at MEYER WERFT

We have summarised our main measures for corona prevention in this PDF document. For more detailed information and further measures, please see the entire list of measures.

Update 02.07.2021

• Since the beginning of this week, parking areas at Gate 5 as well as on the festival grounds have been kept free for employees on the late shift in order to facilitate a quick search for parking spaces. According to employees, this is intended to equalize the parking situation during the simultaneous departure of the early shift and arrival of the late shift.
• The number of parking spaces around the shipyard site is currently more than sufficient for the number of people at the shipyard, but this will provide a good solution for all employees.
• Note: The parking spaces are for late shift employees only. Vehicles in the cleared areas before 11 am (morning) and after 04 am (night) will be towed if necessary.

Update: 07.06.2021

1. Adjustment of our zone regulations

a. Zone division

• Halls 4, 5 and 6 form a common zone. This zone also includes the pier.
• Within Hall 6, S.709 has been declared as a separate zone. Access to the zone is via the arrows and hatched areas shown on the general plan.
• Work on S.709 to be done from the allowance side can of course be done from there.
• The pipe centre forms its own zone.
• The laser centre forms a zone of its own.

b. Organisation on the pier

• All employees working on the component/vessel located at the pier shall enter the zone through a separate gate at the fence at roundabout gate 1.
• From the zone, workers have the possibility to reach the workshop at the pier.
• Cross-zone workers with the appropriate sticker on their stamp card, will have access via the turnstile at the rear of the Visitor Centre. (for further information - see no. 2)

c. How is the zone affiliation marked? (reminder)

• The permanent zone change is currently only possible over a week of night shift as a "rotating shift".
• Alternatively, the zone can be changed with 5 days absence from the yard.
• Permission to change zones is granted exclusively by the responsible managers at MEYER WERFT, from whom the required sticker can also be obtained.

2. Zone affiliation and authorisation to transfer zones

• As a rule, only the managers/construction supervisors of the partner companies are authorised to cross zones.
• Up to now, the entitlement to cross zones has been regulated by various stickers on the stamp cards. These stickers are no longer valid as of calendar week 20 / 2021.
• The new stickers will be specifically issued only to the authorised persons.
  • Employees who are entitled to cross the zone will receive an additional sticker to mark the zone to which they belong.
• Partner companies:
  • The required stickers for partner companies are to be requested from MEYER PORT 4 by the responsible department heads of MEYER WERFT, stating the required number.
  • Authorised employees of the partner companies shall receive brief instructions from the responsible MEYER WERFT manager on the correct behaviour when crossing the zone.
• Shipping companies:
  • The required stickers for shipping company representatives are to be requested from MEYER PORT 4 by the responsible project managers, stating the required number.
  • The responsible project manager is responsible for the targeted distribution of the stickers and the implementation of a brief instruction on the correct behaviour when crossing the zone.
• The instruction will be carried out by the responsible MEYER WERFT manager. All further information will be provided during the instruction.
• How are the stickers to be affixed?
  • The stickers will only be issued to the persons authorised to cross the zone after they have been instructed by the responsible managers.
  • Old stickers are to be removed from the card > The red "Corona sticker", which indicates that the employee has already completed the health questionnaire once, remains on the card!
  • The new stickers are to be placed directly on the time card (not on the protective cover). Care must be taken to ensure that the name and personnel number remain legible.

3. Relaxation of zone regulation (since 07.06.2021)

Zone crossings will now be permitted for instructed persons complying protective measures, if a zone crossing is necessary.

The instruction can be found here. The following must be observed:

• When crossing zones, an FFP2 mask must be worn outside the master zone.
• The FFP2 mask must be worn correctly so that it covers both the mouth and the nose and fits tightly to the face.
• The distance rules must be strictly observed (min. 1.5m distance to other persons).
• Contact with other persons is to be avoided as far as possible.
• The stay in another zone is to be kept as short as possible.
• Breaks are only permitted within the core zone.
• Smoking breaks are only permitted within the core zone.
• The master zone stickers remain on the time cards.

Note: Violations of these regulations will be punished with a shipyard ban.

4. Shift and break times

Shift times

Overview of shift times:
Early shift: 04:30 (earliest shift start) to 13:00 (latest shift end)
Late shift / night shift: 14:00 (earliest shift start) to 00:30

Break times

Note:

• Smoking areas are assigned to the respective zones and can be found on the attached general plan.
• Only smoking areas in the assigned zone may be used.
• Seating in the smoking areas is limited to maintain the minimum distance between people. Appropriate floor markings must be observed.
• The smoking areas on Rheiderlandstraße shall remain closed. Alternatives will be created.

4. Shift division

The following regulations regarding the assignment of the shifts must be followed:

• 1. Partner companies with at least two site managers and more than 20 employees in one zone must divide their groups into an early and late shift.
  • Please inform your corresponding contact person from production immediately about the number of employees per zone and per shift.
    
    Example: Partner company XY employs two site managers and 23 employees at the shipyard.
    
    

    	Uneven week	Even week
    shift group 1	Early shift | 11 persons	Late shift | 11 persons
    shift group 2	Late shift | 12 persons	Early shift | 12 persons
    	=23 persons	= 23 persons

• 2. Partner companies with only one site manager and less than 20 employees in one zone, please choose one of the two shifts and inform the corresponding contact person.
  • Note: If too many partner companies decide to work the early shift, we are forced to limit the number of construction workers due to a too high attendance, and thus we need to assign a shift to some companies.
    • There is a shift change between the early and late shift in a weekly rhythm.
      (The night shift is excluded from the shift change).

• 3. The clear allocation to zone and shift by means of marking (with stickers) on your time cards makes it possible to check compliance with the rules in future.
  • We ask you to register your employees at least 24 hours in advance with the responsible construction manager of the shipyard. He will then hand over the required stickers to the site manager of your company.
