This webpage is designed to help material handling companies and their employees
The Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA) created a comprehensive webpage (www.mheda.org/covid19) to help material handling companies understand the evolving
business, government and health changes due to the world pandemic caused by COVID-19.
The MHEDA COVID-19 webpage page includes (but not limited to) the following resources and website links:

2. Workplace Guidance
3. Emergency/Financial Assistance
4. Leadership
5. Remote Workers/Cybersecurity
6. Cleaning & Disinfecting
7. Healthcare
8. Travel
