Preventing the spread of infection in workplaces
It’s important that employers have a plan in place to lower the spread of communicable diseases in their workplace.For assistance with developing a plan visit COVID-19 and workplace health and safety. Public Health Ontario also provides information on heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings and COVID-19 and for the use of portable air cleaners and transmission of COVID-19.

Cleaning of frequently used surfaces in the common and shared areas in workplaces is important to reduce the spread of infection.High touch surfaces should be cleaned twice. First to remove visible dirt, then to be disinfected. If items cannot be easily cleaned (e.g., newspapers, magazines, stuffed toys) it is recommended to perform hand hygiene before and after use. For information on cleaning and disinfecting in the workplace visit the Government of Canada’s website. |
