inside the store and on sidewalks to public entrances with signs directing customers to use

MMeasures To Prevent Crowds From Gathering:
(check all that apply to the facility or work site)
Many businesses and activities have guidelines that mandate how many persons can be in
a venue at a time. Where such specific guidelines are available, businesses and activities
must follow those protocols. For businesses/activities that do not have specific guidelines,
the following formula must be used. (Gross square footage of public space - square
footage of shelving, equipment, displays, etc. / 100 sq ft per person).
For example, if you have a 5000 sq ft customer area and 20% (1000 sqft) is shelving, etc.
(5000sqft – 1000sqft) / 100sqft per person=40 persons.
This formula directs business/facility managers to a maximum number of persons that may
occupy a business or venue while maintaining 6-feet of physical distance to others.
Maximum number of persons allowed in this venue:
An employee is monitoring the entrance to ensure that the maximum number of customers
in the facility set forth above is not exceeded.
