Measures that Every Industry should take in the
wake of Covid 19

Coronavirus has so far affected India's manufacturing and exports sectors — notably medicines, electronics, textiles and chemicals. The government said it was taking all necessary steps to protect Indian industry from the threat, especially in the area of intermediate goods where $30 billion worth of bilateral trade happens every year.

During the pandemic outbreak of Covid 19, it is very essential that industries follow strict sanitation rules not only for their workers to follow but also deep clean the factories, industries and warehouses and make it a healthy environment for the safety of all!

What precautions can you take to keep Covid-19 away?

Gather the items needed for cleaning before entering the area and cleaning begins. This may include the following:
●   personal protective equipment (PPE)
●   cleaning equipment and solutions
●   rubbish waste bag
●   alcohol-based hand rub.

Below given our few guidelines that every industry as well as their workers should follow to ensure that everyone is contributing to be safe from being infected.

1. Your workers must practice good hygiene, including

●   frequent hand washing or hand sanitising
●   limiting contact with others, including through shaking hands, and
●   covering their mouths while coughing or sneezing with a clean tissue or their elbow.
●   Wear masks to work

2. Encourage good hand hygiene by everyone at the workplace by:

●   providing access to hand hygiene stations on entry and exit.
●   Use gloves while working and dispose them correctly after use.
●   If you can, put signs around your workplace to remind your workers and others how and when to wash their hands

3. You can provide a work environment that is without risk to health and safety. This includes:

●   Provide access to facilities for good hygiene such as adequate supply of soap, water and toilet paper, and make sure the manufacturing plants, machines, warehouses are kept clean and in good working order.
●   Industries should already have in place regular, scheduled cleaning of your workplace /industries / warehouses. Ensure any areas frequented by workers or others are cleaned daily.
●   Frequently touched areas and surfaces should be cleaned several times a day. This includes equipments, elevator buttons, handrails, tables, counter tops, door knobs, and sinks, switches, etc
●   When cleaning, workers should minimise the risk of being infected with COVID-19 by wearing gloves and washing their hands thoroughly or using alcohol-based hand sanitiser before and after wearing gloves
●   If a worker has been exposed to COVID-19 at the workplace, you will need to deep clean areas where the worker has been.
●   To slow the spread of the virus, all employers must implement appropriate physical distancing in accordance with state and territory laws, as far as is reasonably practicable.
●   Physical distancing means keeping the required distance apart. At the moment it is staying at least 1.5 metres away from others.
●   Depending on your workplace, it may not always be possible to stay the required distance apart. Where this is the case, you should think of whether there are other things you can do to help minimise the transmission of the virus. You should also limit access to the workplace by people who do not need to be there. This includes children and other relatives of your workers
●   Industries should provide workers with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and facilities, and information and training on how and why they are required to use them.
●   PPE can include gloves, eye protection and face masks
●   Workers can be directed to wear a P2 or N95 mask if the employer, in consultation with workers, considers it is a necessary control measure to minimise the risk of exposure to the COVID-19 virus.
●   Workers required to wear a mask will need to be trained in how to wear, remove and dispose of masks, including performing hand hygiene before fitting the mask and after taking it off. Masks also need to be maintained or replaced where necessary and stocked correctly
●   An employer may want to monitor the health of its workers (e.g. through administering temperature checks) as a preventative measure in managing a COVID-19 outbreak in their workplace.
However, for many workplaces or industries, there may be little benefit in conducting temperature checks on workers or others. This is because temperature checks will not tell an employer whether a person has COVID-19. It is possible that a person may be asymptomatic or be on medication that reduces their temperature. It is also possible that the person may have a temperature for another reason unrelated to COVID-19. An employer should implement known controls, such as hygiene measures, physical distancing and personal protective equipment rather than only relying on temperature checks. An employer should also require workers to tell them if they are feeling unwell, including if they have a fever, and require them to go home when they do.

4. Cleaning of hard surfaces (e.g. bench tops) should be done using:

●   All furniture, equipment, horizontal surfaces and all frequently touched surfaces (e.g. door handles) should be thoroughly cleaned.
●   When items cannot be cleaned using detergents or laundered, for example, upholstered furniture and mattresses, steam cleaning should be used
●   A physical clean using a combined detergent and 1,000ppm bleach solution (2-in-1 clean) made up daily from a concentrated solution. Follow manufacturer’s directions for dilution.
●   A physical clean using detergent and water followed by a clean with 1,000ppm bleach solution (2-step clean), for example, household bleach or hospital-grade bleach solutions that are readily available from retail stores.
●   Bleach solutions should be made fresh daily and gloves should be worn when handling and preparing bleach solutions. Protective eyewear should be worn in case of splashing.
●   Cleaning equipment including mop heads and cloths should be laundered using hot water and completely dried before re-use. Cleaning equipment, such as buckets, should be emptied and cleaned with a new batch of chlorine bleach solution and allowed to dry completely before re-use
