COVID-19 Audit

The MEP at Columbus State’s COVID-19 assessment is based on the Ohio MEP Re-Opening Guidelines. This 110-item checklist helps manufacturers affirm and enhance their COVID-19 mitigation strategies and prepare for the uncertain future.

The best part is the COVID-19 assessment is completely covered by MEP national emergency funds, so there is no cost to you.

The MEP at Columbus State has been conducting these audits across the 12-county Central Ohio region, helping manufacturers face this pandemic. At the conclusion, you receive a detailed report that will outline your company’s status on the Ohio MEP guidelines and will make recommendations of next steps you can take to help keep your workforce safe and your facility COVID-free.

The audit includes a walk-through of the facility and some deeper discussions. We kick off the audit with a virtual meeting the day prior, and then we bring a bare-bones team on-site for the assessment. Typically this assessment takes about four hours.
