The COVID-19 pandemic jeopardizes continuity of operations of workplaces and the health and safety of workers. Exemplar workplace-related SARS-CoV-2 benchmarks are described and illustrated with empirical data.
Benchmarks were collected over a 9-month period on a large workplace (N = 5500+). These ranged from quantitative indices associated with RT-qPCR targeted testing and random surveillance screening, surveillance for new variants of SARS-CoV-2, intensive contact tracing, case management, return to work procedures, to monitoring of antibody seropositive status.
Data and analyses substantiated effectiveness of interventions. This was evidenced in suppressed infection rates, rapid case identification and isolation, acceptance of the program by employees, documentation of presumptive immunity, and working relationships with senior management.
These SARS-CoV-2 exemplar benchmarks provided an evidence-base for practice and contributed strategically to organizational decisions.
COVID-19 大流行危及工作场所的运营连续性和工人的健康与安全。本文描述了与工作场所相关的 SARS-CoV-2 基准,并结合实证数据进行了说明。
在为期 9 个月的时间里,对一个大型工作场所(N=5500+)进行了基准收集。这些基准包括与 RT-qPCR 靶向检测和随机监测筛查、SARS-CoV-2 新变体监测、强化接触者追踪、病例管理、返工程序以及抗体血清阳性状态监测相关的定量指标。
数据和分析证实了干预措施的有效性。这表现在感染率的降低、病例的快速识别和隔离、员工对该计划的接受程度、假定免疫力的记录以及与高级管理层的工作关系。
这些 SARS-CoV-2 基准为实践提供了证据基础,并为组织决策提供了战略性贡献。
