What Business Owners Need to Know About COVID-19

11/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
​The pandemic is kind of like a wake-up call for business owners to review their policies and strategies carefully. Their operations may also deeply affect their employees as well as the customers if the company is not well prepared to face the pandemic. This article provides information about what you need to know about your business.
Protect Employees from Exposure in the Workplace
Coronavirus is spread easily through droplets from sneezing or coughing. Transmission is also possible from touching a contaminated surface and touching the nose or mouth. 

Employees should:
  • Stay at home if they feel symptoms like coughing, sneezing, shortness of breath, and/or fever.
  • Leave work if they feel any of the symptoms while working.
  • Routinely wash hands with soap with water for at least 20 seconds.

It is also sensible to avoid skin-to-skin contact like shaking hands to reduce the risk of spreading infection. Employers must also provide a proper washing facility that has enough soap and paper towels, as well as hand sanitizers and wipes. Sanitizing wipes is a must for workstation and for doorknobs.

Revise Policies
Policies that give employees relief that they can afford to take sick leave are essential to encourage self-reporting and reduce any potential exposure. Companies should make it clear that they offer policies that can help their employees for any inevitable circumstances.

Employers should also acknowledge travel safety for that may limit their employees from traveling to areas that are at high risk. The company should be well-aware of the number of cases they would most likely travel to for work. Again, if the employee is not feeling well, they should report and stay at home.

Avoid Unreliable Sources of Information
Rumors can be alarming at times that may cause fear among workers. The company needs to disclose important information in order to have the full cooperation of the employees. Updates about infection control are deemed necessary.

Conclusion
Active planning of health emergencies helps protect the business, employees, and customers. Execution of these plans optimizes an effective workforce and prevents any accidents. Business Insurances are present to help employers plan ahead the uncertain days and reduce the risk of going out of business.
