COVID-19 workplace infection prevention and control policy

ABSTRACT

The Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries is cognizant of its responsibility to ensure the safety and health of all our employees during the COVID-19 pandemic and strives to be safe while maintaining its operations during this time. As such, this COVID-19 Workplace Infection Prevention and Control Policy document was developed to support all employees in implementing and adhering to risk control measures that will reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace, as far as is reasonably practicable. This Policy is based on information and advice from the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (GoRTT), Ministry of Health, as well as other reputable organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA). This Policy is subject to change and will be amended accordingly based on the recommendations and advice from the relevant organizations. Employees are also encouraged to keep up to date with the latest measures introduced by the Ministry of Health and any advice issued as a result.
