Business Safety Practices in Covid-19: Keeping Everyone Safe

As the world continues to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses of all sizes are slowly opening up to keep their operations going. While this is an essential step towards returning to normalcy, keeping everyone safe is paramount.

Businesses need to adopt the best practices to reduce the risk of infection in the workplace.

Here are some guidelines businesses can follow to keep everyone safe amid the Covid-19 pandemic:

1. Create a plan

Developing a comprehensive plan is the first step businesses need to take to ensure the safety of their employees, clients, and customers. The plan should cover every aspect of the business operations, including customer service, procurement, vendor contracts, etc. The plan should also outline cleaning protocols, social distancing measures, and emergency response procedures.

2. Implement social distancing measures

Social distancing practices need to be implemented throughout the workplace to keep everyone safe. This includes measures such as limiting the number of people allowed in common areas, creating floor markings to indicate safe distances, and scheduling work shifts or remote work options.

3. Encourage personal hygiene

Promoting personal hygiene practices such as frequent hand washing or sanitizing, coughing or sneezing into a tissue, and disposing of it in a proper way, should be encouraged in the workplace. Sanitizing stations should be placed in strategic locations throughout the building to make it easy for employees to sanitize.

4. Clean and disinfect regularly

Regular cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces like doorknobs, phones, and computers, prevents the spread of the virus. Businesses should allocate enough resources to ensure that the cleaning schedule is followed. This may include hiring additional cleaning staff, purchasing necessary cleaning supplies, and establishing cleaning stations throughout the workplace.

5. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Employees who are in close contact with others should wear PPE such as face masks, gloves or face shields to prevent the spread of the virus. Businesses may provide the necessary PPE for their employees or make it mandatory for them to purchase it.

6. Screening and Testing

Screening and testing employees for Covid-19 on a regular basis is an effective strategy for controlling the spread of the virus. Companies that can afford it can invest in equipment to test their employees, while those who can’t can encourage their employees to get tested at a government-run facility.
