Are you taking the proper precautions to keep your employees safe?

Employers have a duty to take every reasonable precaution, given the circumstances, to protect their employees. To satisfy this duty, below are some best practices for employers in non-healthcare settings:

• An employer’s response should be based on the current scientific understanding of COVID-19 and official guidance, which may change rapidly.
• Inform employees of, and encourage employees to follow, simple health protocols in the workplace such as proper handwashing techniques, proper cough and sneeze etiquette, and to refrain from shaking hands or coming into close contact with others. These protocols should be posted around the workplace, particularly in common areas such as washrooms and the lunchroom.
• Make hygienic products available, including alcohol-based hand sanitizers and disposable disinfectant wipes.
• Increase cleaning operations in the workplace, particularly in common areas and with respect to surfaces (counters, door handles, etc.).
• Ensure that your sick leave policies are consistent with public health guidance and do not serve as a significant deterrent to employees calling-in sick.

Aside from all of this, one of the most important things to do as a business is keep track of every action you’re taking to meet these demands, especially to be prepared for a compliance inspection. TourTrax has an excellent way to keep these logs tracked for every cleaning service you are providing.
