Businesses qualifying as "essential commodity", and
thus functioning during the government-mandated lock down, face
unprecedented challenges in continuing operations while preventing
the spread of infection to and within their workforce. Besides
adhering to applicable regulatory directions, these organisations
must implement measures to ensure that workers reporting to duty
remain safe and healthy.
Organisations are encouraged to adopt the following risk
mitigation protocols to minimize the threat and re-assure
workers that their safety is of paramount importance. These
measures will also stand the Board and local management in good
stead as being prudent operational and governance procedures.
