CLARK FREEPORT—The Clark Human Resource Council (CHRC) has hosted a webinar on “Contact Tracing Protocols,” participated in by representatives of different locators here, to prepare companies in containing COVID-19 in the Freeport.
Done via Zoom video conferencing, the webinar—the sixth of which the CHRC has hosted—was aimed at sharing a workplace contingency plan as a proactive response against the coronavirus.
Dr. Ma. Clemencita Dobles, Clark Development Corp.’s Health and Sanitation Division (CDC-HSD) Manager, as one of the resource speakers, discussed the importance of establishing a Health and Safety Committee in a company.
This includes designating safety officers and COVID marshals for the day to ensure compliance of safety protocols.
“Your health and safety committee may be small in composition, but you could always assign certain people in that specific area to be marshals or patrollers. You don’t need to add people, but you could include or engage them in monitoring,” she said during the recently held webinar.
According to Dobles, active and regular monitoring is vital among companies to keep track of each employees’ health status.
