How Do You Maintain a Safe Workplace? Coronavirus (COVID -19) in the state of Florida

March 10, 2020/in Articles, Blog/by naimiami

Dear Community Member,

There are a slowly growing number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus (COVID -19) in the state of Florida. We continue to monitor and be proactive in connection with the Coronavirus. We are sending this communication to help connect people to resources and make each of us aware of steps we can take.

Below is a list of official websites to contact to be informed of the latest recommendations:

General info from the CDC : https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

General info from the WHO: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

The CDC Recommends:

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
  • Follow CDC ’s recommendations for using a face mask.
  • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID -19.
  • Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID -19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. o If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

How Do You Maintain a Safe Workplace?

U.S.-based employers may have concerns about compliance with workplace safety laws, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). Under OSHA, workers have the right to working conditions that do not pose a risk of serious harm; to receive information and training about workplace hazards, among others. Employers should monitor the development of the coronavirus and analyze whether their employees could be at actual risk of exposure.

Employers may refer to OSHA’s Guidance for Preparing Workplaces for an Influenza Pandemic. While not written to address coronavirus specifically, this guidance does provide steps employers can take to address public health crises.

Employers should take some basic steps to help prevent the spread of disease and keep employees healthy

  • Educate employees on the signs and symptoms of the coronavirus and the precautions that can be taken to minimize the risk of contracting the virus. At present, the CDC believes symptoms appear within two to fourteen days after exposure, with some infected individuals showing little to no signs.
  • Provide hand sanitizer and hand washing stations, flu masks and facial tissues; encourage employees to wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; and cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces.
  • Minimize unnecessary meetings and visitors.
  • Assess the risks of exposure by identifying workers who may have recently traveled to, come in direct contact with, or are scheduled to go to areas where there are confirmed Corona virus cases.
  • Implement and/or evaluate workplace emergency response protocols.
  • Implement travel guidelines and procedures for approvals for travel.
  • Allow sick employees to work from home or take leave as appropriate.

Together, as a community, we can work proactively to slow down or eliminate the potential risk to our community.

Estimado miembro de la comunidad:

Hay un número creciente de casos confirmados de Coronavirus (COVID -19) en el estado de Florida. Continuamos monitoreando y siendo proactivos en relación con el Coronavirus. Estamos enviando esta comunicación para ayudar a conectar a las personas con los recursos y hacernos conscientes de los pasos que podemos tomar.

A continuación se muestra una lista de sitios web oficiales para contactar para estar informado de las últimas recomendaciones:

Información general de los CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

Información general de la OMS: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

El CDC recomienda:

Evitar el contacto cercano con personas que están enfermas.

  • Evitar tocarse los ojos, la nariz y la boca.
  • Quédese en casa cuando esté enfermo.
  • Cúbrase la tos o estornude con un pañuelo desechable, luego tírelo a la basura.
  • Limpie y desinfecte los objetos y superficies que se tocan con frecuencia con un spray o toallita de limpieza doméstica.
  • Siga las recomendaciones de los CDC para usar una máscara facial.
  • Los CDC no recomiendan que las personas que están bien usan una máscara facial para protegerse de las enfermedades respiratorias, incluido COVID -19.
  • Las personas que muestran síntomas de COVID -19 deben usar máscaras faciales para ayudar a prevenir la propagación de la enfermedad a otras personas. El uso de mascarillas también es crucial para los trabajadores de la salud y las personas que cuidan a alguien en entornos cercanos (en el hogar en un centro de atención médica).
  • Lávese las manos con frecuencia con agua y jabón durante al menos 20 segundos, especialmente después de ir al baño; antes de comer; y después de sonarse la nariz, toser o estornudar. o Si no hay agua y jabón disponibles, use un desinfectante para manos a base de alcohol con al menos 60% de alcohol. Siempre lávese las manos con agua y jabón si las manos están visiblemente sucias.

Cómo mantener un lugar de trabajo seguro?

Los empleadores con sede en los EE. UU. Pueden tener inquietudes sobre el cumplimiento de las leyes de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo, incluida la Ley de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (OSHA). Bajo OSHA, los trabajadores tienen derecho a condiciones de trabajo que no presenten un riesgo de daño grave; recibir información y capacitación sobre riesgos laborales, entre otros. Los empleadores deben monitorear el desarrollo del coronavirus y analizar si sus empleados podrían estar en riesgo real de exposición.

Los empleadores pueden consultar la Guía de OSHA para preparar los lugares de trabajo para una pandemia de influenza. Si bien no está escrito para abordar el coronavirus específicamente, esta guía proporciona los pasos que los empleadores pueden tomar para abordar las crisis de salud pública.

Los empleadores deben tomar algunas medidas básicas para ayudar a prevenir la propagación de enfermedades y mantener saludables a los empleados:

  • Educar a los empleados sobre los signos y síntomas del coronavirus y las precauciones que se pueden tomar para minimizar el riesgo de contraer el virus. En la actualidad, los CDC creen que los síntomas aparecen dentro de dos a catorce días después de la exposición, y algunas personas infectadas muestran pocos o ningún signo.
  • Proporcionar desinfectante de manos y estaciones de lavado de manos, máscaras contra la gripe pañuelos faciales; alentar a los empleados a lavarse las manos con agua y jabón durante al menos 20 segundos; y limpiar y desinfectar objetos y superficies que se tocan con frecuencia.
  • Minimice las reuniones y visitas innecesarias.
  • Evaluar los riesgos de exposición mediante la identificación de los trabajadores que pueden haber viajado recientemente, entrar en contacto directo o programar visitas a áreas donde hay casos confirmados de virus Corona.
  • Implementar y / o evaluar protocolos de respuesta de emergencia en el lugar de trabajo.
  • Implementar pautas de viaje y procedimientos para la aprobación de viajes.
  • Permita que los empleados enfermos trabajen desde casa o se despidan según corresponda.

Juntos, como comunidad, podemos trabajar de manera proactiva para frenar o eliminar el riesgo potencial para nuestra comunidad.
