Employee Safety & Well- being
COVID-19 Employee Protection Measures
Orbit & Skyline prioritizes our employees’ health and safety in times of “business as usual”, and especially during today’s global COVID-19 crisis. Around the globe, with extensive engagement from our CEO and Senior Leadership Team, our Epidemic Management Team implemented a comprehensive series of measures to protect our employees.
Beginning in January 2020 we progressively implemented our Epidemic and Pandemic Preparedness Plans as the SARS-CoV-2 virus spread across multiple regions and countries. Orbit & Skyline initiated a strict split shifts model for Fab employees and a work-from-home policy for all non-fab and non- operational employees, which includes colleagues across a wide spectrum of functions. To protect employees whose work is directly related to essential semiconductors services, and who continued to work n-site at the fabs, Orbit & Skyline implemented stringent site controls. These include minimizing visitors and strictly screening anyone entering to our office, as well as daily temperature checks. Orbit & Skyline also requires everyone working on-site to wear face masks—all in a continuing effort to limit the spread of the virus.

Inside our office and customer sites, Orbit & Skyline has enacted mandatory social distancing. Among these measures are capping the number of attendees at in-person meetings, reducing the seating capacity, and using shift-patterns in cafeterias, mapping out the distancing intervals on the floor in certain areas, and dedicated gowns at customer sites. At customer sites (Fabs), we have been moving meetings of the operational staff, whenever possible, inside to the fab’s cleanrooms, which are among the cleanest places on Earth from a contamination perspective.
By taking these measures, Orbit & Skyline significantly reduced the number of employees who were in office at any given time until there was sufficient improvement in regional conditions. Social distancing and other policies are helping to ensure employees who are on-site are as safe as possible so we can also keep their families and our communities safe. Throughout our response we consulted our employees, seeking their active participation in protecting themselves and others. This was accomplished through a robust set of Frequently Asked Questions, regular communications from our CEO and his leadership team, and targeted questions in our survey regarding our COVID-19 response. Orbit & Skyline also provided online medical consultation facilities for employees and families affected by SARS-CoV-2 virus.
