Program Overview

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus (COVID19) outbreak as a pandemic.  COVID19 spread is most likely to happen when there is a close contact of at least 2 meters with an infected person.  The risks likely increases when someone has close contact with an infected person as droplets are produced by an infected person through coughing and sneezing.  Transmission is also possible by touching a surface, object, or the hand of an infected individual such as shaking hands, opening the doorknobs, and then touching one’s face. As early as March 8, 2020, President Rodrigo Duterte, recognizing that COVID-19 constitutes a threat to national security, declared a State of Public Health emergency throughout the Philippines through Proclamation No. 922.

Mitigating the social, health, and economic impact of this global pandemic will require multi-faceted responses from all duty bearers which include government, private sector, and other stakeholders.  Particularly, the safety and health of the entire workforce are of paramount concern of employers.  It is only through the formulation and implementation of effective Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) measures to protect the lives of the employees and their families, the organizations’ clients, business partners and the larger communities will ensure business continuity.

While all these guidelines are very timely as business operation will slowly but steadily return in a “new normal” scenario, it is crucial to capacitate the management on how to translate these guidelines and protocols into concrete steps, “know how”, and effective strategies.
