Workplace Risk Assessment Tool
& Workplace Hygiene Programme by Sitemark
In response to the Coronavirus outbreak in March 2020, Sitemark – an independent benchmarking service for the facilities management industry – launched a free workplace risk assessment tool.
The COVID-19 Workplace Risk Assessment Tool helps facilities managers identify the control measures needed to minimise the risk of workplace infections from Coronavirus.
It has five categories of control measures that include site control (access points, visitor restrictions, visitor hygiene, dispensers, etc), cleaning provision (specification frequency, schedule definitions, service provider contingency, chemical use, etc), signage and education (hand washing, update alerts, etc), building user behaviours (home working, dress code, travel reduction, handshaking, workspace hygiene, etc) and contingency plans (building closure, contract clarification, deep clean methodology, sick pay policy, etc).
The tool gives facilities professionals, the majority of whom will have never faced planning for a pandemic, a framework in which to plan their own facility’s response to the virus. It’s as relevant for offices as it is for education establishments, manufacturing and logistics sites, healthcare facilities and residential spaces.
Following this, Sitemark launched a COVID-19 Hygiene Cleaning Specification Workplace Hygiene Programme to support buildings still in operation and those looking to reoccupy once the pandemic is over. The tool includes hygiene specifications for offices, education, residential, leisure, industrial, retail, residential care and healthcare facilities.
The highly visual system positively drives the behaviours of building users, cleaning operatives and facilities managers, and is based on the use of ‘High Intensity Touch Point’ indicators. These remind building users to wash their hands after passing through a high-risk area, and prompt cleaning staff to pay additional attention to deep cleans of these areas.
Sitemark has also launched free downloadable signage to encourage people to wash their hands and is exploring other tools that they can launch to support today’s FMs at this unprecedented time.
