COVID-19 is everywhere: Protecting yourself at work

While at an indoor work setting, there are basic health and safety measures that can prevent the spread of COVID-19 among workers.

Workers who test positive for COVID-19 should self-isolate immediately for at least 10 days. Workers not fully vaccinated who have been in close contact with a person with COVID-19 should self-isolate for 14 days as a precaution.

For more information on COVID-19 symptoms and testing, visit the Government of Saskatchewan website.

All workers should:

• Always self-monitor for symptoms;
• Stay home whenever you are sick and seek a COVID-19 test;
• Wear a mask while at work;
• Keep six feet of distance between you and others in the workplace;
• Wash hands often or use hand sanitizer;
• Practice proper sneezing/coughing protocols;
• Maintain a regular schedule to clean and disinfect common areas (doorknobs and shared spaces such as boardrooms and lobby seating areas); and
• Get vaccinated. Vaccination is one of the strongest safety measures people have to protect themselves, co-workers, family, friends, patients and residents.

Involve an occupational health and safety committee or worker representative to develop and promote health and safety measures for the workplace.
