Prepare an infection control plan. There are a number of considerations
including but not limited to:
-
Establish clear sick time policies and procedures
that do not financially penalize employees for usage and encourage/mandate
employees with symptoms to stay at home
-
Establish general personal hygiene standards
and practices
-
Provide hand sanitization facilities as appropriate
-
Training for employees on infectious diseases,
personal hygiene, etiquette, and all other relevant policies
and procedures
-
Establish general housekeeping and sanitation
standards inside facility and outside on grounds
-
Promote infection control programs for employees
while off-the-job
-
Elevate training and understanding of infectious
diseases by first aid staff, occupational health nurses, health
and safety committee
-
Establish good communications systems for timely
accurate information
Start succession planning and cross-training
now so no one is indispensable!
