What are the concrete steps that can be taken at the Surabaya Gresik JIIPE Industrial Estate to prevent transmission of the corona virus at work?
1. Spraying disinfectants and providing hand sanitizers
Disinfectants kill viruses attached to elevator buttons, door handles, metal stairs, and other spots that are often held by many people. A number of studies have revealed that the corona virus in general (SARS and MERS) can survive outside the human body in a matter of hours to days, depending on the type of surface the object is attached to. Therefore, providing hand sanitizers or hand washing soap is also useful to prevent the spread of viruses in industrial areas.
2. Isolating and monitoring employees returning from business trips
This procedure is mandatory especially if the industrial estate employees who have just returned from an overseas business trip or city which is a COVID-19 distribution area. Independent isolation at home is done at least 14 days to find out whether the person concerned is infected with a virus or not. If you show symptoms, it is advisable to immediately visit a health care facility or undergo a corona test.
3. Use of a temperature detector
Industrial zones also detect the temperature of every person who enters the office with an infrared sensor or thermo gun can be a step to prevent transmission of COVID-19. Because, people infected with corona generally have symptoms of fever, in addition to coughing and shortness of breath. However, this body temperature detector is considered to be less effective in identifying types of asymptomatic sufferers or those who are positive for COVID-19 but do not show clinical symptoms.
4. The application of social distancing
For companies that deal with consumer services, it can implement social distancing, such as arranging queue distances or streamlining services to avoid queues, for example increasing the number of cashiers or customer service. Set the distance between people at least 1.5 meters to prevent transmission through sneezing / coughing.
5. Work from home
This is a strategic step an industrial area can take. The problem is that it requires a lot of adaptation especially for companies that are not familiar with remote work systems. However, this is not something that is impossible considering that there are currently many digital software and applications available for online meetings and joint work platforms.
