This COVID-19 checklist is a
management tool to implement practical actions to mitigate the spread of
COVID-19 pandemic at the workplace. The successful implementation of the tool
is dependent on the cooperation between employers, supervisors and workers to
make positive changes in the workplace to improve response to and preparedness
for COVID-19. Employers should participate in worksite safety and health
committees or safety discussions in the process.
- Appoint a team including senior management, supervisors, worker's representatives, and responsible enterprise safety and health personnel.
- All team including safety, security, supervision should be properly brief and train on the initiatives to implement this checklist tool.
- Complete the checklist and write your check results.
- Plan, as the team, what action should be taken, by whom and when.
- Look again at the items you have marked Yes. select the items that you think to be most prominent/essential and mark them as Priority.
- As soon as you complete the checklist, make a group discussion with the other team members to prepare proper suggestions/advice to management.
- After conducting the group discussion with the team members, present the results of the group discussion to management for planning the continuous implementation of the health and safety improvements at worksite/facility.The accountable team should not delay searching for clarification from OHS authorities (OSHA, IOSH, OSHAD), labor inspectorates, national or international safety organizations or national OSH professional associations, Employers and employees Organizations. This is not a comprehensive list of all mandatory initiatives.
Look for a way to apply the prevention initiatives, if it is more essential, ask the line manager or workforce for further advice.
- If the properly required initiative has already been deployed or is not required, use the number like “Do You Suggest Action.” If you consider the initiative would be beneficial, mark as Yes.
- Use the blank space under remarks for additional comments and suggestions.
The responsible
team should add to the checklist any additional information they consider
appropriate to improve response to COVID-19 at the workplace. Management requires
to comply with national legal obligations in organizing their worksite COVID-19
preventive control measures and plan.
