Facility Security Return to Work Considerations
2020 Infectious Disease Hardening for COVID-19 and other Biological Risks
In early 2020, Safeguards Consulting researched and analyzed the COVID-19 pandemic to determine how to best support its clients with facility security during this global crisis. To address this and support others, we developed a document called “Facility Security Return to Work Considerations“ to cover all of the related considerations for facility security regarding the risk of infectious disease.
This document offers leaders broad, universal considerations to start productive conversations across key groups in your organization. To support this effort, Safeguards Consulting approached this environment with the new term of “infectious disease hardening” and provides insights forged on the concepts and expertise in lab environments that are applied more broadly to the entire facility. The goal is to inspire thoughtful changes that create safer environments and build confidence across the workforce.
This forced change presents an opportunity to consider how to resume operations with a long-term model focus (i.e. the “new normal”) within appropriate medical and jurisdictional guidelines to:
Mitigate the immediate risks of COVID-19
Prepare for a potential return of COVID-19 (“second wave”)
Create a safer environment for seasonal and future infectious diseases
