Five More Tips to Protect Employees’ Health

Healthy employees are crucial to your business. Here are 5 more ways to help them stay healthy.

1) Plan to implement practices to minimize face-to-face contact between employees if social distancing is recommended by your state or local health department. Actively encourage flexible work arrangements such as teleworking or staggered shifts.

2) Perform routine environmental cleaning. Routinely clean and disinfect all frequently touched surfaces, such as workstations, countertops, handrails, and doorknobs. Discourage sharing of tools and equipment, if feasible.

3) Consider the need for travel and explore alternatives. Consider using teleconferencing and video conferencing for meetings, when possible.

4) Provide education and training materials in an easy to understand format and in the appropriate language and literacy level for all employees, like fact sheets and posters.

5) If an employee becomes sick while at work, they should be separated from other employees, customers, and visitors and sent home immediately. Call SERVPRO at 570-424-2290 to clean and disinfect areas the sick employee visited.
