Coronavirus (COVID-19), a declared global health pandemic, asks for major reforms in the way we perform businesses and take necessary actions to safeguard our Workforces.
As business owners we have an obligation to protect the safety of our workers and the people who interact with our businesses — this is especially important for organisations that provide services to the sick, the elderly and members of the public. We also share a common responsibility to contain this virus and prevent infections, save lives and minimise the impact.
Today, we look at some COVID-19 prevention and control measures you could introduce at your worksite today — using Rapid.
Rapid Access
Screen everyone at the front gate, reception area, or entry to production areas using Rapid Access.
- Have visitors, employees and contractors complete pre-qualification questionnaires before they start work.
- Send a real time notification to the Site Manager/Host if the person was denied access
- Use the Rapid Access App or integrate the terminal with QR code hardware to create a touch free hygienic sign in system
- Add COVID-19 questions to your sign in process
Rapid Induct
Carry out COVID-19 refresher training and safety inductions using Rapid Induct.
- Create online modules on the latest COVID-19 topics like updated infection controls and operating procedures, correct hand-washing and other preventative measures
- Train remote workers on working from home, health and safety requirements and policies
- Induct your personnel on social distancing and respiratory etiquette before they carry out any work on site
Rapid Contractor
Use Rapid Contractor Management to take control of the contractors entering your job site.
- Job roles: Create different personnel types for the people who enter your job site and minimize access to high-risk areas
- Pre-qualification questionnaire*: Have employees and contractors complete real time pre-qualification questionnaires before they start work, such as COVID-19 quarantine declarations
- Notifications: Send an email or notifications to contractors as site restrictions increase due to the Coronavirus
- Induct*: Issue online COVID-19 courses for contractors to complete before commencing work
*When integrated with Rapid Induct or Rapid Access
Rapid Auditor
Use Rapid Auditor to create COVID-19 hygiene checklists for work areas and immediately assign areas of non-compliance to Team Leaders/Key staff for corrective action.
- Generate checklists, inspection reminders and corrective action plans
- Create a checklist for contamination/spill clean-up (and disposal procedures). Carry out spot audits on this task to ensure workers are following safety procedures
- Randomly ask workers to demonstrate their handwashing procedure
- Inspect the kitchen and food storage areas and ensure that food has been correctly refrigerated, segregated and covered
Rapid Risk
Use Rapid Risk to manage Coronavirus risks in the workplace, such as Corporate Communication. Conduct COVID-19 risk assessments and develop a business continuity plan.
- Identify and prevent Coronavirus risks where possible
- Prepare for risks that you can’t control, such as an economic recession or revenue loss
- Respond and recover if a COVID-19 incident or any type of crisis occurs
Rapid Incident Reporting
Quickly record COVID-19 incidents and hazards in the Rapid system and ensure the entire job site is instantly alerted to critical hazards. Examples include:
- Unauthorised site access
- Workers who have developed COVID-19 symptoms
- Workers exposed to confirmed COVID-19 cases
