As the first cases of COVID-19 began to appear in Canada, we worked quickly to develop and revise safe work procedures. Kent Blackmon, our Organizational Safety Services Manager, was guided by two main goals – keep the public safe and keep our employees safe.
“We had to be nimble and really focus our efforts to get thing done in a short about of time,” said Blackmon, adding one of the biggest struggles has been keeping up with the evolving information about COVID-19.
As with any safety concern, Blackmon said the focus initially was on avoiding the hazard. In the context of COVID-19, that meant getting people spread out to avoid close contact and modifying how tasks were being done.
“We want the best for our employees and need to make sure they can return safely home at the end of the day,” he said. “We follow the guidance of the province and the Public Health Officer and build on that.”
Ensuring work is safe
Several procedures had to be rewritten with COVID-19 risks in mind, including conducting front counter face-to-face interaction with the public, handling mail, and training employees on proper face mask usage. This was in addition to stocking additional cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, and necessary personal protective equipment.
