Safety :
The word safety refers to your freedom from danger, injury and damage, and to your personal security.
The word safety has been used so often that many of you may think of it as a "Preaching Word", or a
word that forces you to alter your ways or change bad habits.
Instead, when you hear the word safety, think of it as a word that applies to the way you do everything
in life. Think of it as a procedure to keep you from harm.
For example: Health safety from COVID-19
Protect yourself and others by making these 6 simple precautions your new habits:
• Clean your hands often
• Cough or sneeze in your bent elbow - not your hands!
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
• Limit social gatherings and time spent in crowded places
• Avoid close contact with someone who is sick
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
To make office safer for everyone during COVID-19
After the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced many people into months of remote work and
endless Zoom meetings, some workplaces are finally starting to allow employees to return to the office.
But just like gyms , hotels , and schools that have reopened, offices now look much different, as
employers and employees alike adjust to a new normal that includes face masks, social distancing,
plexiglass partitions, and more.
Some Ways to Help Protect Office Space from Coronavirus
• Doors don’t need handles and can swing open both ways by just pushing them with your foot or
shoulder.
• Install Motion lights in all rooms , including bathrooms. (Doing this is also environmentally
friendly). Add motion sensors to all bathroom features. Most new offices already have this, but
double down. One should not have to touch a faucet to wash their hands.
• Invest in personal laptops, tablets, and phones for your employees, so they aren’t sharing
keyboards and computers. Employees can commute with their devices. Giving every employee
their own devices that they are responsible for will limit the number of wires and desk objects so
cleaning crews can keep your office space clean and healthy.
• Employees should be able to use their cellphones to connect to a conference call that play in your
conference room without having to touch the speaker or a shared phone. We all already do this to
listen to music; we can do the same for conference calls!
• Keep Installing Sanitizer in every conference room, shared spaces, and reception area.
• Clean Office Space – Many offices may want to skimp out of daily cleaning. You shouldn’t.
Additionally, you will want to make sure they are correctly cleaning things like the refrigerator
and copy machines.
