LiveSafe’s COVID Return-to-Work Checklist

OSHA recently published new guidance to help organizations establish COVID-19 prevention programs, mitigate the spread of the virus, and protect employees and business operations. Within this guidance, there is a 16-point list describing “The Roles of Employers and Workers in Responding to COVID-19.” This is an important reference point for companies seeking to reopen their workplaces and avoid infractions.

To limit the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace and adhere to OSHA’s new guidance, it’s important for organizations to establish comprehensive health and safety policies, clearly communicate those policies, and remain responsive to employee questions and concerns. Return-to-work policies may cover topics such as COVID-19 symptom screening, employee-paid leave, quarantine protocols, sanitization, workplace isolation, and more.

Facilitating continuous, two-way communications about threats such as COVID-19 is an effective top-down and bottom-up approach to prevention: employers regularly communicate updates, and employees easily report questions and concerns without fear of reprisal.

To help organizations implement OSHA’s 16-point guidance into their return-to-work procedures and COVID-19 prevention strategies, the experts at LiveSafe, Vector Solutions’s risk management tool, have developed a COVID Return-to-Work Checklist. This checklist includes all 16 points of OSHA’s guidance and provides additional resources and information.
