New directives for occupational health and safety at work have come into play – and we, at CFS, have the answer to keep you and your staff safe.
With South Africa now in Level 3 lockdown as a third wave of a Covid-19 variant sees infections and deaths soar, new directives for occupational health and safety at work have come into play – and we, at CFS, have the answer to keep you and your staff safe.
Businesses, gyms, hospitals – in fact, everyone who employs staff and deals with customers – must now, more than ever, stick to strict Occupational Health and Safety regulations to ensure their safety, as well as mitigate the spread of Covid-19 in the workplace. Screening your staff and customers is the first line of defence.
To assist businesses with this, we offer CFS Healthscan. This provides you with a complete Covid-19 screening solution that allows for:
real-time health screening;
daily online risk assessments;
daily individual readings;
automatic alert notifications sent to the compliance or HR officers for flagged issues and high temperatures; and
the real-time screening reports through easy-to-use dashboards.
It is simple: using a cellphone or tablet, a QR code or barcode can be scanned, which is linked to the employee/visitor profile, and this leads to a unique link to conduct the onsite health screening. Temperature checks, personal details, and answers to health screening questions are recorded before the person is allowed access into the building.
There is also an option for employees to fill the health screening in at home to pre-screen before arriving at work. In this case, only the employee’s temperature will need to be recorded when arriving at the office. In this way, office contamination and a forced shut for 4 days while the workplace is sanitised can be avoided.
Full guidelines regarding screening data are available from the National Institute for Occupational Health. The data includes symptom status as well as the screening outcome – and CFS Healthscan fully complies.
