How to Keep Your Workplace Clean During COVID-19
During any crisis, including the COVID-19 pandemic, safety comes first.
Fear and uncertainty related to the virus are especially prevalent in the workplace, and while there is no guarantee that your employees and business will remain unharmed, there are simple safety measures you can enact to help keep everyone out of harm’s way.
Educate Your Workforce and Communicate Regularly with Employees
Employers should communicate openly and often with the workforce so that employees have the information they need to help keep themselves educated and updated about the coronavirus. Communicating regularly with your employees regarding company policies and procedures is an effective method to demonstrate to your workforce that you are monitoring the situation and working to keep everyone healthy and safe.
Reinforce Good Hygiene Practices
As an employer, you have a duty to ensure the health, safety, and wellbeing of your employees and any visitors to your workplace during a virus outbreak. In light of what is presently known about the disease, the CDC recommends the following to reduce the likelihood that you catch or spread the virus:
– Regularly and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water
– Avoid close contact with anyone who has a fever or is coughing or sneezing
– Practice proper infection control and sterilization measures
– Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, especially with unwashed hands
– Stay at home if you feel sick and follow guidance from your local health authority
Actively Encourage Sick Employees to Stay Home
Consistent with CDC guidance, employers should actively encourage employees to stay home if they are sick or have been exposed to someone who is sick. This is especially important for employees who have symptoms of acute respiratory illness.
