Back to the Office: 14 COVID-19 Workplace and Workwear Guidelines

As South African citizens head back to the office, it is only natural to feel overwhelmed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While returning to normality will not be easy for many people, health and safety are top priorities for the government. To stop the spread of the virus and prevent stress and fear, employers must arm themselves and their employees with the correct safety work practices, and they must stay current with education and training. It is the law. Whether you have just opened your doors or you are about to, here are 13 excellent compliance guidelines to help protect your employees from COVID-19:

1. Create a test protocol for employees.
2. Make face masks mandatory.
3. Enforce social distancing practices.
4. Communicate your actions to your employees.
5. Keep windows open and switch off the air-conditioner.
6. Secure a consistent supply of masks, visors, screens, and more.
7. Ensure a daily office and cubicle cleaning and disinfectant schedule.
8. Limit employees in the workplace with remote working policies.
9. Reduce the spread of germs with the right protective workwear.
10. Provide training to management, cleaning staff, and delivery area.
11. Exercise a morning employee temperature check and questionnaire.
12. Supply hand sanitiser and paper towels throughout your organisation.
13. Put up signage that reminds employees of hand-washing protocols and use of sanitisers.
14. Implement a wellbeing programme to include SADAG, which offers free counselling.

After months of living in lounging gear, you will need to put on your corporate or casual workwear and return to the office. It is only natural to expect guidelines that include social distancing, frequent hand washing, extreme housekeeping, and protective PPE. As the employee, ensure that each employee within the company understands the COVID-19 practices. That is the only way to keep your investment afloat and your employees safe.
