Good day mylotters!
I had previously wrote about already working onsite on selected days of the week. I'm not yet working onsite full-time but that might be my reality really soon. Anyway, I'm still enjoying working from home and given the choice, I would prefer that.
Anyway, although I have concerns about working onsite, I am relieved to know that regular disinfection occurs in the office. Every Sunday afternoon, they go ahead and do a disinfection and fumigation. The whole process takes an hour or so and during this time, no one is allowed to stay in the office. After the fumigation and disinfection, they go ahead and do a UV sterilization. The UV sterilization, they do every before and after the work shift ends.
For those back working onsite, what steps are your company taking to ensure that health standards are met, employees are safe, and infections are minimized if not totally eliminated?
Feel free to chime in.

No steps are taken to ensure the health and well-being of workers in grocery stores. Not even when the pandemic was in full swing.

Sorry to hear that.
It just puts everyone at risks - workers and customers alike.

@allen0187 and @DaddyEvil Walmart here closed their store for 24 hours and disaffected the whole store. Almost all of the employees got covid.

Sorry to hear that. I think everyone should continue doing these precautions with the pandemic still looming.

Other than wearing masks and doing extra cleaning, I am not sure other steps are being taken. Infections are at a low level here now, although that may well change.

@allen0187 It is increasing a bit, but they think by the fall it may be worse. That is why they are now trying to push additional booster shots although as of yet, they haven't been authorized.

@snowy22315 I've had a booster already.
However, there is news that additional booster shots are needed .
It doesn't help that it is campaign season and there are always large crowds in sorties. Social distancing isn't being done anymore.

That is good to know. Hopefully, the low level of infection stays.

That's great. We should also take extra steps in disinfecting our own home.

@LadyDuck that is what I do as well at home.
Shower first before anything else.

@allen0187 We receive no one, but we remove the shoes and the clothing as soon as we come inside, better to be careful, the virus is still around.

True.
Instead of Netflix and chill, it is Netflix and work.
