Drillco’s COVID-19 Prevention Campaign

In the light of the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide, Drillco has undertaken a COVID-19 Prevention Campaign both at its manufacturing plant and at its 10 subsidiaries worldwide. The main goal is to protect its people: employees, partners, distributors, suppliers and customers, facilitating all the means available to ensure social distancing, strict compliance with Health & Safety measures, and safe operation. The end goal is to continue to supply our customers and their operations, offering the best cost per meter, maintaining an active supply throughout the crisis. The below lists the main actions undertaken by Drillco as part of its COVID-19 Preventive Campaign, which was initiated last March:

1. All international travels, both commercial and technical, are suspended indefinitely. This measure will be revised periodically according to the evolution of the pandemic.

2. Visits to mining sites will be subject to the measures and restrictions imposed by each operation. Drillco® staff will always ensure the safety of their clients and compliance with their safety protocols.

3. The supplying to operations will remain active, subject to the restrictions imposed by each government or state. Whenever possible, Drillco® personnel will adhere to the exceptions established for mining suppliers, construction suppliers or others, in order to ensure on-time supply to customers.

4. All Drillco® employees who have had contact, either directly or indirectly, with any person suspected of having COVID-19, must maintain a mandatory quarantine, in isolation.

5. All Drillco employees who’s role allows it have been, and will continue to, work remotely through telecommuting. In order to facilitate the prior, new software has been implemented to allow efficient teamwork.
