Office Prevention and Control
Office prevention and control mainly refers to epidemic prevention and control management in the workplace. With the resumption of work and production and the return of personnel, the office area has a high density of staff with long stay and a complex composition, which increases the difficulty of prevention and control.
The Prevention and Control Protocol for Novel Coronavirus (1st Edition), released by the NHC on January 29, provided a guide to workplace prevention and control:
* The staff should monitor their own health.
* A sick employee should not come to work in case of suspicious symptoms of novel coronavirus pneumonia (such as fever, cough, pharyngalgia, chest distress, breathing difficulties, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, and muscle soreness).
* People with suspected symptoms of the disease should be refused to enter the workplace.
* Regularly clean and disinfect public goods and items or parts that are frequently touched by people.
* Maintain indoor ventilation in the workplace;
* Ensure sufficient hand sanitizers and proper operation of water supply facilities in the washroom;
* Keep the workplace clean and tidy, and clean up the garbage in time.
Various localities also adopted detailed measures for the prevention and control of office areas. These included:
* Specify responsibilities of each unit in the office area;
* The operator of the building where the office is located draw up a list of tenants, and take temperature check and personnel registration at the building or courtyard entrance;
* Make targeted work plans for prevention and control;
* Strengthen staff health monitoring;
* Conduct risk analysis and work out counter measures for key posts and key departments;
* Optimize workflow to reduce the risk of infection;
* Adopt flexible work hours;
* Reduce unnecessary meetings and other gatherings;
* Maintain indoor ventilation;
* Strengthen daily cleaning and preventive disinfection.
办公场所防控
办公场所防控主要指在办公区域进行的疫情防控管理。随着复工复产、人员陆续返岗,办公区域人员密度大、停留时间长、人员构成复杂,增加了办公场所的防控工作难度。国家卫生健康委在2020年1月29日发布的《新型冠状病毒防控指南(第一版)》中,提供了办公场所防控指南,即工作人员要自行健康监测,若出现新冠状病毒感染的可疑症状(包括发热、咳嗽、咽痛、胸闷、呼吸困难、乏力、恶心呕吐、腹泻、结膜炎、肌肉酸痛等),不要带病上班;若发现新型冠状病毒感染的可疑症状者,工作人员应要求其离开;公用物品及公共接触物品或部位要定期清洗和消毒;保持办公场所内空气流通;洗手间要配备足够的洗手液,确保供水设施运行正常;保持环境卫生清洁,及时清理垃圾等。
此外,各地还就疫情期间办公场所防控和工作人员防护提出措施建议。例如,建立主体责任制,明确办公场所内各单位各部门的具体职责;办公场所所在建筑的经营管理者要建立租用户名录清单,建立楼宇、院落出入口体温监测、人员登记等防控措施;建立有针对性的防控工作方案;强化员工健康监测制度;加强重点岗位重点部门的风险梳理和应对措施;优化工作流程,降低感染风险;建立弹性工作制;减少会议等不必要的人群聚集性活动;保持办公场所室内空气流通;加强日常清洁和预防性消毒措施等。
