Is your office COVID-19 safe? 

Before you consider using Cignpost Diagnostics’s testing facilities, you may want to do a COVID-19 office risk assessment to make sure your workplace is safe. To ensure your office is safe from COVID-19, you should consider the following:

  • Risk assessment: Assess your workspace to identify any factors that have the potential to accelerate the spread of COVID-19.

  • Social distancing: Make sure you put adequate social distancing measures in place so that your employees can move around their office workspace without risk.

  • Cleaning, hygiene and handwashing: Ensure that workspaces are cleaned often and that employees wash their hands regularly.

  • Ventilation and air conditioning: Maintain a constant flow of clean air to office workers to help remove any airborne viruses, including COVID-19.

  • Inform your employees of your COVID-19 protocols: Place posters and send email memos to remind your employees of the importance of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
