COVID-19 and Workplace Prevention
Our Industrial hygiene staff can play a crucial role regarding infectious disease control particularly dealing with the Coronavirus. We can assist in the following ways:
- Selecting appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for cleaning/disinfecting and other surface contact tasks/activities
- Providing just-in-time training on proper PPE donning and doffing techniques
- Determining whether certain types of PPE and other equipment should be discarded or if it can be reused after proper cleaning
- Selecting and providing training on the use of decontamination chemicals and techniques
- Managing waste that is known or is suspected to contain an infectious substance
- Helping management and workers understand, and recognize Coronavirus risks
- Creating or revisiting existing infectious control plans
We have experience with training on infectious control practices with the US Federal Custom Border Patrol Officers at JFK, Newark and LaGuardia airports during the Ebola virus events.
