The City of Tulsa recently passed an ordinance that mandates the wearing of masks/cloth face coverings. Below is a summary of the ordinance, its requirements, exemptions, and penalties.
At our facilities, the policies, procedures, and precautions we have followed over the last several months, have served to protect us all, and comply with the city’s recent mandate.
Below is a recap of the ordinance, so you will know what is required outside your work environment.
Stay Safe, Stay Masked, Observe Social Distancing, and be Well.
Thanks,
Jeff Pelcher
