MRAA, MTAS PUBLISH 58-PAGE GUIDE TO OPERATING SAFELY

MRAA

May 19, 2020

The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas, along with trade association partners from across the marine industry, has released a 58-page publication aimed at helping boat businesses operate safely in a new marketplace concerned with the COVID-19 health crisis.

The publication, titled “Guide to Operating Your Boat Business Safely,” provides a manual for running an organization that is safe for employees, customers and communities across North America. It includes sections that provide insights for Your Business, Your Customers and Your Employees, and each section highlights guidance from government agencies as well as best practices from inside and outside of the marine industry.

While this is largely an American guide and remembering that most states are now open for boating, there is certainly information of value for our Canadian readers. The Guide to Operating Your Boat Business Safely is available to all at: mraa.com/getbacktowork.
