APM Team,

As you may have read or heard in the news, on September 9th, U.S. President Joe Biden announced an Executive Order requiring COVID-19 vaccination for all U.S. federal workers and employees of companies that hold contracts with the U.S. government.

On September 24th, the U.S. Safer Federal Worker Task Force issued guidance that detailed the requirements for those who must comply with Executive Order 14042, “Ensuring Adequate COVID Safety Protocols for Federal Contractors.”

GE has conducted a comprehensive, company-wide legal analysis of the guidance and an overview of federal contracts. The analysis found that most of GE’s U.S. workforce is subject to the vaccination mandate.

At APM, we continue to analyze the U.S. Executive Order and Guidance. In addition, we are keeping track of forthcoming federal regulations, such as those which we expect OSHA to issue. It is likely that these federal laws will force changes in how we operate. We are not announcing a vaccination requirement for our employees at this time. We will continue our evaluation and keep employees informed every step of the way.

While this analysis continues, we highly encourage all employees to do their own research. Make a well-informed personal decision, and understand the risks and potential consequences of any choice they make. For those that have been vaccinated, we will soon be developing the ability for employees to share their vaccination status. We will communicate more about that ability in the next few days.

Safety and Integrity:

Safety is APM’s keystone; Integrity is our core value. We will continue to do all we can to keep our people safe and adhere to all applicable laws and regulations. It is critical that we continue to follow our COVID-19 Response Plan and Prevention Field Procedure , as well as any applicable customer requirements.

Thank you for understanding the rapidly evolving nature of this situation. We will stand together and manage through this together to continue delivering on our mission: empowering the people who power life. Thanks for your dedication toward that cause.
