SOCIAL DISTANCING
This page has been protected from robot content scraping. If you wish to copy content for your personal use please subscribe.
A seemingly obvious strategy to protect staff is minimising their contact with others. Crowded places and large gatherings of people should be avoided, whether in internal or external spaces.
The World Health Organization defines that a minimum distance of at least one metre should be maintained between persons wherever practical. Larger distances are more effective.
Staff can (and should) be reminded that they are obligated to do whatever they can to ensure they do not pass the flu on to others, and the best way they can do this is to minimize the possibility that they contract the flu in the first place.
The following are a number of suggestions which you could use as either simple advice to employees or actively create policies for staff to practice while in the workplace or outside.
Visiting of, or other contact with, unwell people should be avoided wherever practicable.
Avoid meeting people face to face - use the telephone, video conferencing and the internet to conduct business as much as possible - even when participants are in the same building.
Avoid handshaking and any other greeting which involves person to person contact.
Avoid any unnecessary travel and cancel or postpone non-essential meetings / gatherings / workshops / training sessions.
If possible, arrange for employees to work from home or work variable hours to avoid crowding at the workplace.
Practice "ghost" shift changes wherever possible, with the shift going off duty leaving the workplace before the new shift enters. If possible, leave an interval before re-occupation of the workplace. If possible, thoroughly ventilate the workplace between shifts by opening doors and windows or turning up the air-conditioning.
Avoid public transport: walk, cycle, drive a car or go early or late to avoid rush hour crowding on public transport.
Bring lunch and eat at desk or away from others (avoid the cafeteria and crowded restaurants). Introduce staggered lunchtimes so numbers of people in the lunch room are reduced.
Do not congregate in tearooms or other areas where people socialize. Do what needs to be done and then leave the area.
If a face-to-face meeting with people is unavoidable, minimise the meeting time, choose a large meeting room and sit at least one meter away from each other if possible; avoid shaking hands or hugging. Consider holding meetings in the open air.
Set up systems where clients / customers can pre-order / request information via phone / email / fax and have order / information ready for fast pick-up or delivery.
Encourage staff to avoid recreational or other leisure classes / meetings etc. where they might come into contact with infectious people.
If the company does not utilise business internet banking, set it up and begin the migration immediately.
Encourage staff to apply for and use personal internet banking. This will allow them to avoid making unnecessary trips to the bank.
Try using conference calling equipment instead of face to face meetings. Get people comfortable with using it now and they'll be 'ready trained' when the need to make conference calls instead of meeting becomes serious.
