Covid-19 Secure Workplace Policy
Policy brief & purpose
This policy includes the measures Sylvia Jeffery Ltd are actively taking to mitigate the spread of coronavirus in our offices and to ensure that your return to the workplace is safe. You are kindly requested to follow all these rules diligently, to sustain a healthy and safe workplace in this unique environment. It is important that we all respond responsibly and transparently to these risk precautions.
This COVID-19 Secure Workplace policy is susceptible to changes with the introduction of additional governmental guidelines. If any changes are made, we will update you as soon as possible.
Scope
This policy applies to all of our employees who physically work in our office and those who are currently working remotely. We recommend that all employees read through the risk assessment/action plan, to ensure we collectively and uniformly respond to the ongoing challenges.
Policy elements
Here, we outline the required actions employees should take to protect themselves and their colleagues to ensure a safe and secure working environment.
Sick leave arrangements:
● If you have Covid 19 symptoms, such as a cough/sneezing; fever; loss of sense of smell or taste, or otherwise feel unwell, your must either request sick leave or work from home. You should ensure that you self isolate for 14 days from the first sign of symptoms and return to the office only if you are fully asymptomatic.
● If you have a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, you can return to the office only after you have self isolated for 14 days.
Work from home:
● If you are experiencing any Covid 19 symptoms, but you are able to work, you should work from home.
● If you’ve been in close contact with someone infected by COVID-19, with high chances of being infected yourself, you should work from home. You will also be asked not to come into physical contact with any colleagues during this time.
● If you need to provide care to a family member infected by COVID-19, or have children who have not been able to return to school please discuss this with the David Ginsberg.
Travelling/commuting measures:
● All work trips and events – international – will be cancelled/postponed until further notice.
● In-person meetings should be done virtually where possible, especially with non-company parties (e.g. clients)
General hygiene rules:
● Wash your hands regularly and on all occasions after using the toilet, before eating, and if you cough/sneeze into your hands (follow the 20-second hand-washing rule). You can also use the sanitizers you’ll find around the office.
● Cough/sneeze into your sleeve, preferably into your elbow. If you use a tissue, discard it properly and clean/sanitize your hands immediately.
● Open the windows regularly to ensure open ventilation.
● Avoid touching your face, particularly eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands to prevent from getting infected.
● If you are in the office and find yourself suffering any possible Covid-19 symptoms you should avoid close physical contact with your coworkers and go home immediately and thereafter follow the instructions for self isolating- such as working from home or requesting sick leave.
