Best-practice procedures for businesses
Clear and regular communication between employers and employees is important to ensure that all workers understand the reasons for the measures being adopted in the workplace and are therefore more likely to comply to the behavioral change. Here are a few examples to help you.
Ensure all workers are fully briefed, on all the symptoms of coronavirus, what to do if they experience symptoms and the measures put in place to prevent the spread of the virus.
-
- Wash your hands more often than usual, for 20 seconds, using soap and hot water, particularly after coughing, sneezing and blowing your nose, or after being in public areas where other people are doing so. Use hand sanitiser if that’s all you have access to
- To reduce the spread of germs when you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, or your sleeve (not your hands) if you don’t have a tissue, and throw the tissue in a bin immediately. Then wash your hands or use a hand-sanitising gel
- Clean and disinfect regularly touched objects and surfaces using your regular cleaning products to reduce the risk of passing the infection on to other people
- Use protective screens where possible, especially for frontline staff.
