MAD guide to a covid safe workplace
MASK - # 1
DO:
Wear your mask at all times while at work, even when you're alone
If you need to remove your mask, remove it by the straps
Encourage the people around you to wear a mask and thank them for doing so
Sneeze or cough into your shoulder or elbow, even when wearing a mask
DO NOT:
Don't touch your face or mask
Don't leave your nose or mouth exposed or dangle your mask from your ear
Don't remove your mask to talk or place it under your chin or on your forehead
Don't share equipment or tools (eg, phones, utensils, sunglasses)
AIR - # 2
DO:
Work outside when possible. This allows physical distancing and maintains the greatest amount of fresh air around you
Open windows and doors to improve airflow*
Turn on fans to get more outside air. Freely moving air decreases the risk of breathing in virus particles through your nose
or mouth
Use a humidifier to maintain a humidity level between 40%–60%
Indoor humidity higher than 80%
can lead to mold and other types of harmful pathogens. Viral particles float in the air longer in spaces
with very low humidity. Prolonged exposure to low humidity can dry out your nose and weaken your immune system
DO NOT:
Don't work directly under HVAC vents
Don't stay in a confined space without good air circulation
DISTANCE: #3
DO:
Stay at least 6 feet (2 meters) apart from others, inside AND outside
Take extra precautions if you live in a multi-occupant home or building
If you feel sick or have any COVID-19 symptoms, keep away from others, including in your home, if possible
DO NOT:
Don't gather in breakrooms or other crowded places inside or outside
Don't go to work if you have a fever or other symptoms of COVID-19
Don't enter a room/space if you can't stay
6 feet (2 meters) apart from someone more
