CAE’s measures

Updated on June 8, 2020

The COVID-19 situation continues to evolve quickly, and governments around the world are implementing new mitigation measures.

The situation is a source of concern for everyone, and CAE will make every effort to protect its employees, their families, as well as its clients and stakeholders. We are making decisions for the business, taking into consideration the situation in each of the 35 countries in which we are located. We are carefully analyzing the situation, for the safety of everyone. At the same time, we are being mindful of our mission and obligation to continue supporting our clients. Ultimately, our business and our credibility depend on our ability to maintain services to our clients, especially in times of crisis. Our commitment to our customers is to maintain the essential services for them to continue conducting their operations.

Working remotely – working from home

Based on the latest government recommendations from various countries, we ask that employees from all CAE sites worldwide work from home until further notice. Everyone who can work from home should do so. If you are required to come onsite, your leader will advise you accordingly.

Please refer to the general working from home guidelines and IT tips for more details.

As a preventive measure for employees who will be asked to work onsite, we have implemented protocols and measures to maintain a safe working environment. These include signage and reorganization of our workspaces to reinforce social distancing and other hygienic precautions.

Basic hygienic precautions prescribed globally:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
• At all times, maintain 2 metres (6 feet) distance from others.
• Please wear a mask at all times inside CAE facilities and ensure it covers your nose, mouth and chin.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Make sure to stay home if you experience any COVID-19 symptoms or if you have been in contact with someone experiencing symptoms.

Older adults with underlying health condition are at increased risk of severe disease and should practice enhanced precautions.

If you suspect coronavirus symptoms, which include difficulty breathing, fever and cough, or go seek medical help (call doctor’s office or emergency room ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms) and notify medical services at medical@cae.com or +1-514-770-3202.
