Returning to your workplace after re-opening the office seems straight-forward, right? Maybe, but for many of us there are many things to consider, especially around ensuring a safe workplace. Some of the things we need to consider: - Are you complying with Government directives – the Victoria Government is directing Victorians, ‘if you can work from home you should work from home.’
- Can you comply with physical distancing guidelines or are modifications required and what will these be
- Do you have adequate hygiene
facilities and rules to maintain good hygiene (e.g. limiting the touching of surfaces)
- Is the flow of people adequate to reduce coming close to colleagues
- How will you restrict numbers of visitors and control their flow and access in your workplace
- Are the shared facilities adequate (toilets, kitchens etc)
- Has the cleaning routines been reviewed and modified if necessary
- Are you planning for a staggered reintroduction to the workplace and has this been communicated to staff
- What plans are in place if someone in your
workplace contracts COVID-19
These considerations and many more require thorough and careful planning and working together with your workforce and possibly your key stakeholders. A starting point is to keep up to date with the latest. A good starting point is these sites and trusted HR specialists.
