The COVID-19 pandemic will affect the mental health and wellbeing of employees well beyond the immediacy of the initial crisis. There are ways employers can support employees' mental health and well-being during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Fear and anxiety about COVID-19 can be overwhelming. Social distancing, can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. Coping with the daily stress in a healthy way will make employees, co-workers and the work environment stronger and safer. In this program we'll learn ways to fight the virus, how to handle anxiety and our responsibility during the pandemic. People are social beings. We like to talk and share and laugh. But to fight the virus, we must all socially distance. Though it seems unnatural, it is our new normal for now. It is just a temporary adjustment, not a permanent change. Anxiety is a normal election to uncertainty and to events that may harm us. It is time to normalize the anxiety by saying we are not alone and that what we are feeling is normal and most important temporary.
In this program we'll learn the importance of creative and kind leadership, how to address the concerns of employees and learn mindfulness techniques. Creative and kind leadership has never been so important and employees will remember what you do now. Throughout the day, employees are worried about their family, worried about not working up to standard, worried about adapting to a new work assignment, schedule, or location and worried they contract the virus. These stress factors must be addressed by a sensitive leader. Both the leader and employee must work together to identify stresses and provide solutions.
In this program we'll learn how to safely reopen a business, the OSHA five-part plan and how everyone has a role to play. OSHA standards require employers to provide a workplace that is free from recognized hazards that cause or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to their employees. Every person is being asked to slow the spread of the virus through awareness, social distancing and prevention hygiene. With the participation of everyone using proactive practices, we can flatten the curve.
In this program we'll learn the importance of humor in times of stress, the important ways to look at the pandemic and how to take care of ourselves in these turbulent times. After months of dealing with the coronavirus, people throughout the world have developed pandemic fatigue. But we cannot let down our guard. While it is essential to pay attention to our emotional and physical needs, we must also find the strength to take safety precautions each and every day. It's vital we all recognize we are all playing a role in combating this virus.
In this program we'll learn how to stay safe before going to school, how to stay safe when traveling to school and how to stay safe throughout the school day. Every day, students will need to stay informed on how to keep safe from the virus. COVID-19 is caused by a germ that can make the body sick. The virus enters a body when it's on your hands, when you touch your mouth, nose, or eyes. The virus is so small you can't see it which is why it is so important to wear a mask, wash and sanitize your hands and avoid crowds as much as you can.
In this program we'll learn safety measures to consider before opening schools, how to reassure children during the pandemic and how teachers can take care and protect themselves. Schools are an essential part of the wellbeing of communities. They provide a safe place for learning, help develop social and emotional skills, attend to students nutritional needs and offer physical activity and health support. Now their role is expanding to educate students on good hygiene and social distancing. The pandemic is here and we must take preventive measures to prevent the spread. So far there is no treatment, no vaccine and no immunity. But there are steps that schools can follow to protect teachers, staff and students. The entire school community will need to work together to ensure that families, faculty and staff are on board with plans to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Whether staff and students are in-person learning, working in school buildings to support virtual learning, or implementing hybrid models that mix in-person and virtual instruction, all must follow new guidelines to stay safe. New school protocols should be implemented to organize and minimize large congregations of students and teachers should prioritize educating their students about COVID-19. Let's take a look at a typical school day and what we can all do to keep each other safe.
In this program we'll learn how the virus enters our body, how we infect others and how to stop spreading germs. The virus enters the body through our eyes, nose and mouth. This can happen when we touch our face after coming in contact with a contaminated surface, material, or object - or when inhaling airborne droplets of the virus. A person with the virus can infect others by expelling droplets into the air through coughing, sneezing and breathing. The virus can spread to a person directly through hands, high-touch surfaces, tools, and so on. It can spread directly through coughing, sneezing and talking. It is vital that we stop the chain of infection by following strict guidelines as outlined in this program.
During the pandemic, employees should have a clean-up kit that includes gloves, masks, sterilized gowns, paper towels, disinfectant wipes, hand-sanitizers, a bag to dispose their used personal protective equipment and an instruction manual on how to safely clean and disenfect all work surfaces daily. With approximately 80% of diseases transmissible through touch and flu viruses living on hard surfaces for up to 72 hours, it is time to ensure a daily cleaning and disinfecting schedule is enforced in the work place.
In this program we'll learn the topics for Emergency Planning, the impact on employees and that no plan is complete without mandating mask wearing. In these uncertain times, things can change quickly. Business continuity and emergency planning are being put to the test. Both the employer and employee have responsibilities to ensure the workplace is safe and healthy. To create a business emergency plan, there are three categories: 1) Employers should start by creating a COVID-19 workplace plan, 2) Employers should consider the impact on managers and employees, and 3) Employers should have directives and training on new workplace safety policies.
In this program we'll learn the importance of good personal hygiene, how COVID-19 virus spreads and the safety protocols for protecting the workplace. In our country, coronavirus cases are skyrocketing. In our company, just one employee can infect multiple people, especially if you're facing someone for more than 15 minutes or if sharing an enclosed area for more than two hours. More than ever, we need to ask who and what we come into closest contact on a typical day and how we can protect ourselves and others. We begin with personal hygiene. Good hygiene not only can help reduce the spread of coronavirus but can also help flatten the curve.
In this program we'll learn the importance of wearing personal protection equipment and how the virus requires additional protection. We'll experience a visual to remind us of personal safety. PPE. Personal Protective Equipment. It keeps workers safe, especially in times when social distancing is not an option. It works as a barrier between germs and a person's skin, eyes, nose and mouth. Personal Protection Equipment can include masks, gloves, gowns, aprons, scrubs, safety helmet, eye protection, encapsulated suit, boots and closed-toe work shoes.
In this program we'll learn alternatives to ensure safety in this new age, examine a work day, provide safety suggestions and learn the importance of social distancing. Many states have adjusted laws concerning business closures and employees are now returning to work. At the same time, we are entering a new heightened age of public health awareness. Wearing masks, good hygiene and social distancing are part of our new normal and should be part of your company's risk management plan.
In this program we'll learn about the danger of pandemic fatigue, how to identify workplace hygiene, social distancing and to identify appropriate personal protection equipment. The pandemic is here - and scientists are still exploring the nature of COVID-19. Progress has been made but fatigue has set-in. Tuning out allows the virus to spread even more easily. But with awareness and resilience, the employer can create a safe and healthy workplace and the employee can adhere to safety protections prescribed by the CDC, OSHA and their management team.

Life as we know it is changing and disrupting every sector of our lives in the age of COVID-19. The ramifications of the Coronavirus Pandemic have rippled across every aspect of our professional and personal lives. With governments enforcing stringent guidelines to protect its citizens there is much that can be done by businesses when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of employees. Planning how to manage office utilization in a way that members of your organization stay healthy and safe can be a challenging task, but having the right information and data on how your office space is used is a big step in decision-making when it comes to workspace planning for a post-pandemic workplace. What we've learned is to be prepared and not panic. As we return to work, we should be aware, not scared, practice preventative action at all times and take the extra measures to ensure health and safety is protected. This program teaches us all how to act proactively and learn the precautions we need to put in place to return to the workplace during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
We'll learn what habits to follow and the role of managers to ensure workplace safety. New research suggests the coronavirus can live on a mask, plastic and stainless steel for 7 days. It can live on glass and money for 4 days. It can live on cloth and wood for 2 days. It can live 1 day on cardboard and on paper for 3 hours. As we return to work, all employees need to be aware. Wear a cloth mask (but not one designated for a health care worker), PPE (personal protective equipment) if instructed, stay calm (stress will lower your immune system), avoid close contact with those who are feeling unwell, keep two arm lengths (6 feet) between yourself and others, practice good hygiene and avoid shared use of office desks, work tools and equipment. Corporations will need to adapt social distancing to the workplace, rethink floor layouts and desk seating arrangements, stagger work schedules, stagger arrival times and look at prototypes where markings delineate a six-foot radius around each desk. Most people touch their faces several hundred times a day. To avoid infection, it's time we form new habits.
Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth unless your hands are completely sanitized. Always cough or sneeze into your arm. Promote regular hand washing to employees and customers. Wash your hands with soap and water for twenty seconds every two hours especially after using the bathroom, before, during and after food preparation, after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing and after touching garbage. Keep hand sanitizer at workstations at all times. Use disposable gloves, gowns and a mask for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces such as doorknobs, tables, desks, light fixtures and handrails. Surface disinfectants like Lysol and bleach are recommended for high touch surfaces. Ensure the surface stays wet for 4 minutes.
Use video and web conferencing for meetings and assess the risks of business travel. If in-person meetings are absolutely necessary, ensure proper distancing in a well-ventilated space. It's everyone's responsibility to ensure the workplace is clean and hygienic. Managers should develop an infection control policy and select an Emergency Planning Coordinator who should keep ongoing communication with their local public health department. They should put strategies in place to ensure the work environment is safe and provide signage throughout the company promoting good respiratory hygiene and recommendations for cleaning and social distancing. The coronavirus is primarily a respiratory illness that spreads airborne droplets from an infected person's coughs or sneezes. Most of these droplets fall on nearby objects and surfaces. You could spread the virus to co-workers and others even if you don't feel sick. The whole world is facing the same challenges. It is therefore vital that we pay attention, take responsibility, get the facts, stay informed and be prepared.
Information and statistics on the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, are changing rapidly. To combat both the spread of the virus and the negative emotions in connection with it, employers need to have an open dialogue with their employees about the virus, it's potential impact on the organization and what employees can do to protect themselves.
This program includes our top tips for protecting the workplace and employees from spreading the virus. We're living in a new age with new concerns. It's not a time to be uninformed and unaware. With no treatment, no vaccine and no immunity, it is imperative we limit the spread of this disease and each employee can play an important role in stopping the spread of germs.
In this program, we'll learn to focus on the five essential steps of prevention, the basic rules of disinfecting work areas and the roles of the company, managers and employees.
No matter the company or organization, a concerted effort must be made to meticulously clean and disinfect all workplaces after every shift. Environments that have a high potential for exposure are hospitals, health care facilities, drug treatment centers, correctional institutions and homeless shelters. Environments that have a medium potential for exposure are retail stores, public services, postal services, warehouses and public transportation. However no matter the company or organization, a concerted effort must be made to meticulously clean and disinfect all workplaces after every shift. What do you think is the dirtiest place in a typical office? The sink faucet in the break room; followed by microwave and refrigerator door handles, keyboards and buttons on water fountains and vending machines. Consider placing a wipe able cover on electronic equipment. Ensure that storage rooms, dining rooms, changing rooms, and refuse areas are cleaned regularly using antibacterial wipes and surface sanitizers. Food establishments should pay close attention to cash registers, countertops and checkout counters. In vehicles, please clean door handles, window buttons, locks, arm rests, seat cushions, buckles and seat belts, steering wheels, radio buttons, turn indicators and cup holders. If you wear a uniform provided by the company, it must be cleaned regularly or washed with detergent at the highest temperature as should towels and linens. Do not shake dirty laundry before washing. The role of the company is to train supervisors in keeping a safe and healthy workplace. They need to create soft barriers, such as tables, ropes, signs, and floor markings to maintain social distancing; while limiting unnecessary visitors in the workplace. The company should provide face and eye protection, gloves and when necessary, gowns and respirators. In addition, ensure there are handwashing stations with soap, clean water and single use paper towels (not hand dryers) as well as hand sanitizers that contain at least 60% alcohol. The company should encourage employees to work remotely and have virtual meetings, thus minimizing non-essential travel. The role of the manager is to instruct, monitor and modify policies that keep the workplace safe and healthy. Remember, just because someone doesn?t appear ill doesn?t mean they?re not infected. Ask sick employees to stay home. Create sick-leave policies that are flexible and in accordance with public health agencies. Provide training classes and films demonstrating how to put on and take off protective equipment and how to properly disinfect the workplace. Managers should give extra recognition and rewards to those unable to work from home. They should also show empathy and support during these turbulent times. The role of the employee is to do their part to ensure the workplace is safe and healthy. It begins with knowing the facts. COVID-19 is spread from person to person mainly through coughing, sneezing, talking and breathing. It poses a greater risk for people with underlying health conditions. The incubation period is the time between exposure to a virus and the appearance of symptoms which include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and loss of taste and smell (generally 2-14 days after exposure).
