OHSS - Providing COVID-19 Services & Support Across Ireland

30 Jul 2021

At OHSS, we’ve been providing Irish businesses with health and occupational safety services for twenty years and the last two or so have given rise to unprecedented challenges. Covid-19 has forced employers to focus on implementing the measures required to restrict exposure to customers and staff, which means that occupational hygiene assessments are as important as they’ve ever been. 

While lockdowns have eased somewhat, the Coronavirus still represents a major threat and we are able to use our expertise and experience in the occupational safety field to help organisations to navigate these new challenges, as well as advising on pre-existing threats. 

Managing Exposure, Minimising Risk

Covid-19 has presented certain challenges, for sure, but the principles of occupational hygiene remain the same and our team can give you the guidance you need to prevent the spread of the virus.

What You Can Do To Minimise Transmission
There are some simple measures companies can implement in the workplace to minimise the transmission of Covid-19 and they include:

• Regularly washing hands properly with alcohol hand sanitizer or soap and water

• Keep employees at least 2 metres (6.5 feet) away from each other

• Properly ventilating the workplace with fresh air

• Ensuring any used tissues are placed into a bin

• Implementing face covering policies for all personnel

• Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces used communally
