As countries begin the slow process of reopening, there are still several questions around how to do so. Guidance is emerging around two key focal points for safely reopening workplaces: the location-workplace and the workforce.
With the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus and the disease it caused, COVID-19, many businesses and industries had to shut down during widespread stay-at-home orders. As countries begin the slow process of reopening, there are still several questions around how to do so. Guidance is emerging around two key focal points for safely reopening workplaces: the location-workplace and the workforce.
Risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, during an outbreak may depend in part on the industry type and need for contact within 6 feet/2 meters of individuals known to have, or suspected of having, COVID-19. OSHA has divided job tasks into four risk exposure levels. Download the complete infographic here to learn more about workplace controls and PPE recommendations based on different levels of exposure risk.
Most workers will likely fall in the lower exposure risk (caution) or medium exposure risk levels. PPE should be selected based on the results of an Exposure Risk Assessment and workers' specific job duties. Always refer to and follow local health department regulations and business guidelines.
