ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The primary response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been to minimize social contact through lockdown measures. The closure of non-essential businesses to tackle the spread of the coronavirus has had negative consequences for the global economy, production, and employment.OBJECTIVE:
To outline how known occupational health principles can be used for preventative management of the coronavirus in workplaces to support resumption of work.METHODS:
A discussion of current knowledge of COVID-19, the cost of the lockdown strategy, and preventative biological cycle management.RESULTS:
The evidence-based literature indicates that biological cycle management can control the risk of coronavirus infection, provide a suitable and sufficient exit strategy from lockdown, and support getting employees back to work. Adherence to personal protective equipment standards has been insufficient, indicating a need for workplace investment and education.CONCLUSION:
Imposed restrictions on workplace operations can be lifted without compromising worker health and safety when a workplace commits to practicing the three principles of biological cycle management.Palabras clave
