What are the concrete steps that can be taken in the Jiipe Industrial Zone to prevent transmission of the corona virus at work?
1. Spraying disinfectants and providing hand sanitizers
Disinfectants kill viruses attached to elevator buttons, door handles, metal stairs, and other spots that are often held by many people. A number of studies have revealed that the corona virus in general (SARS and MERS) can survive outside the human body in a matter of hours to days, depending on the type of surface the object is attached to. Therefore, providing hand sanitizers in industrial areas is useful to prevent the spread of viruses.
2. Isolating and monitoring employees returning from business trips
This procedure is mandatory for industrial areas, especially if new employees return from official travel to cities or cities which are the COVID-19 distribution areas. Independent isolation at home is done at least 14 days to find out whether the person concerned is infected with a virus or not. If you show symptoms, it is advisable to immediately visit a health care facility or undergo a corona test.
3. Use of a temperature detector
Detecting the temperature of every person who enters an industrial area with an infrared sensor or thermo gun can be a preventive measure for COVID-19 transmission. Because, people infected with corona generally have symptoms of fever, in addition to coughing and shortness of breath. However, this body temperature detector is considered less effective in identifying types of asymptomatic sufferers or those who are positive for COVID-19 but do not show clinical symptoms.
4. The application of social distancing
Employees in industrial estates related to consumer services can implement social distancing, such as managing queue distance or streamlining services to avoid queues, for example increasing the number of cashiers or customer service in industrial areas. Set the distance between people at least 1.5 meters to prevent transmission through sneezing / coughing.
5. Work from home
This is a strategic step that companies can take in areas affected by the spread of corona such as Jakarta. The problem is that it requires a lot of adaptation, especially for companies that are not familiar with remote work systems. However, this is not something that is impossible considering that there are currently many digital software and applications available for online meetings and joint work platforms.
