In recent weeks, the Québec government has authorized
businesses to invite their employees progressively to return to
their physical workplaces. Accordingly, employers are obligated to
comply with various public health guidelines and implement
preventive measures in an effort to stave off the spread of
COVID-19 as economies reopen.
To support businesses in this process, the Commission des
normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la
sécurité du travail
("CNESST") created a toolkit to assist
workplaces across economic sectors in resuming or continuing their
operations in compliance with provincial public health guidelines.
Comprised mainly of sanitation standards guides, quick reference
guides, checklists, and informational posters, the toolkit contains
resources applicable across all workplaces, as well as sector
specific instructions aimed at ensuring that employees can return
to work under the safest and healthiest conditions possible.
