Keep Yourself and Others Well at Work, All the Time

Practise good hand hygiene:  

1. Clean your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly soiled. 
2. Clean your hands frequently, especially, before you eat, after going to the toilet or blowing your nose.
3. Make sure your hands are clean before you touch your face.  
4. Keep a bottle of alcohol-based hand rub at your desk ready for use.

Practise respiratory etiquette:

1. Respiratory droplets sprayed in the air when you cough, talk or sneeze can spread illness.
2. These droplets can land on others or on surfaces within one metre or greater.
3. To avoid this, cover your cough or sneeze with your sleeve or use disposable tissues. Throw the tissue in the garbage after use and immediately clean your hands.

Practice workspace hygiene:

1. Maintain a clean, clutter-free workspace. 
2. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as your desktop, telephone, computer mouse, weekly or sooner, if dirty.
3. Wash your cup, water bottle or dishes thoroughly with soap and hot water and keep them for personal use. 

Stay home if you are ill:

1. As per the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care guidelines, those who work in non-healthcare settings should remain off work until they no longer have a fever and are feeling better. Those who work in healthcare settings should remain off work until 7 days after the onset of their symptoms and they no longer have a fever and are feeling better.
2. Practise good hand hygiene.

Social distancing:

1. Is a means of reducing face-to-face contact.
2. Step back to maintain at least an arm’s length or more to minimize direct contact with others if you or others are showing signs and symptoms of illness.
3. If you are in close contact with someone who is ill, practise respiratory etiquette.

Prepare for the flu season by getting your flu shot:

1. The flu shot is your best defence against seasonal influenza. 
2. Find out when it becomes available at your doctor’s office, workplace or at a Region of Peel community clinic. 
3. Make sure your immunizations are up-to-date to help you stay healthy.
