Jewell Instruments Risk Mitigation Plan – COVID-19
In light of recent concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19 and the effect it is having on our global economy, Jewell Instruments and our affiliated companies, Triplett Test Equipment and DGH Corp., want to reassure our business partners that we have taken risk mitigating actions to minimize both health risks, and business continuity risks.
Our entire workforce is actively following CDC guidance regarding good personal and facility hygiene practices, and we are cleaning our facility on a daily basis. We are also implementing temporary actions to avoid or minimize unnecessary close contact. Currently, there has been no impact to Jewell Instruments due to this disease.
Jewell Instruments will continue to monitor the CDC regarding COVID-19 to ensure best practices are in place and effective. Our emphasis is to maintain a healthy and informed workforce that can continue to provide products and services to our valued customers.

- We are suspending all non-critical audits of our facility
- Anyone requesting a facility visit will be asked to provide justification due to current risks
- All business-critical visitors will be asked to provide travel history information and complete a visitor questionnaire prior to access to the facility

Customers
Jewell Instruments has received a few notifications from our component, supply-chain partners informing us of potential disruptions, but thus far, we have not been impacted.
We cannot predict how a long-term impact will affect the supply chain and our ability to obtain materials, but we have had little impact to date. We continue to work closely with all our suppliers to assure any disruptions are minimized.
We are sharing communications from local health officials and federal organizations (CDC and the like) with all employees as they become available. We are supporting work-from-home opportunities where applicable and encouraging those who may feel ill to stay at home.
We are committed to supporting our customers and keeping them informed as conditions evolve. Our goal is to continue to meet all our customer’s needs and ensure we remain effective through this crisis.
Sincerely,
Carlo I Carluccio
President and CEO
