The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has published an alert with safety tips for social distancing at work.
Safety measures that employers can implement include:
Isolate any worker who begins to exhibit symptoms until they can either go home or leave to seek medical care;
Establish flexible worksites (e.g., telecommuting) and flexible work hours (e.g., staggered shifts), if feasible;
Stagger breaks and re-arrange seating in common break areas to maintain physical distance between workers
In workplaces where customers are present, mark six-foot distances with floor tape in areas where lines form, use drive-through windows or curbside pickup, and limit the number of customers allowed at one time;
Move or reposition workstations to create more distance, and install plexiglass partitions; and
Encourage workers to bring any safety and health concerns to the employer’s attention.
