Encourage COVID-19 Safety in the Workplace

Let's get back to business Canada, with these 4 COVID-19 safety tips!

Canada is slowly getting back to business. Yet, as doors begin to reopen and the bustle of commerce once again fills the air it is important to remember that things aren’t quite business as usual.
As workplaces take steps to continuing slowing the spread of COVID-19 it’s important to facilitate and encourage practices that make factories and shops, restaurants, office buildings, and other establishments safer and healthier for everyone.

Here are 4 Ways to Encourage COVID-19 Safety in the Workplace

Make Physical Distancing Easier

Whether shoppers are waiting to enter your place of business or standing in line to checkout, it’s important that everyone keeps physical distancing in mind. Of course, knowing the recommendation to stand 2 metres apart doesn’t always equal knowing what 2 metres of distance looks like. So, make it easier for everyone to know just where to stand by employing social distancing floor decals!

Encourage Good Handwashing Practices

One of the most effective ways to thwart the spread of COVID-19 is to adopt thorough handwashing practices. Thankfully, it’s also among the easiest! Remind employees and all visitors to practice frequent, thorough handwashing by posting handwashing signage throughout the building. Ensure that handwashing signs are clearly visible, easy to understand and placed in areas such as washrooms, kitchens, breakrooms and more.

Provide Hand Sanitization Stations

Hand sanitization is also an effective means of keeping everyone safe. Retail establishments, restaurants, office buildings and medical offices alike may find that placing a hand sanitization station (complete with hand sanitizer, paper towels and signage) just inside the front door can be an easy way to encourage visitors to clean their hands before further interacting with products and surfaces within the space.

Encourage Curbside Pickup

Even though many stores are open for in-person shopping, placing orders for curbside pickup continues to be encouraged. To ensure a smooth pickup process provide customers with as much onsite information as possible. Whether pickup means drive-up or walk-in, provide information on durable, weather-resistant signage that advises customers of details such as required identification, pickup call numbers, allowed payment methods and more.
