Residents of the Netherlands are discouraged from visiting private occasions where groups of people are present. We follow this policy for all Sif employees. We take the following measures regarding work situations:

  • Only visits (at Sif or elsewhere) that are necessary for safety reasons or to keep production going (for example maintenance and repair) are allowed. Other visits or activities are suspended until further notice.
  • If business group meetings are planned, such as company visits, guided tours or presentations, they must be postponed until further notice or be offered in another way (online).
  • Physical meetings with more than 6 people are not allowed.

 

In general and for everyone: Try to communicate as much as possible via telephone, e-mail and Skype.
