Participatory prioritization of preventive strategies against COVID-19 for work environments

ABSTRACT

As part of an initiative to support Chilean companies, has been conducted a panoramic literature review and a priorization of preventive measures against COVID. 204 preventive measures were identified in the literature, the 20 measures most applicable to the Chilean reality were categorized by cost and effectivity by two groups of experts. Among the most effective and less costly measures, experts selected immediate notification of symptoms and self-care at home and the workplace and risk communication based on education. The priorization strategy used to arrange preventive measures according to cost and effectiveness is a participative tool in the decision-making process in the workplace. © 2022 Universidad Nacional Experimental Rafael Maria Baralt.
