Every worksite is different, so each department will want to examine their work environment and create a worksite plan that meets current public health and Merced County guidelines before employees who’ve been working remotely may gradually return to campus — when appropriate and necessary. Develop and Communicate Your Worksite Plan. When complete: Submit the worksite plan for review/approval to Maggie Saunders (msaunders4@ucmerced.edu). She will share the plan with the appropriate Building Manager and members of the Building Readiness Workgroup to that your local plan is consistent with the overall building readiness plan. Share the worksite plan with the employees in your group. This worksite checklist is by no means exhaustive. You know your worksite best and how best to achieve public health protections while maintaining a comfortable and functional space for your employees. This checklist was created to help you consider ways to protect employees and visitors as your worksite operations resume. Contact Information Department/Organization Name Building(s) Contact Name Phone Number Email Address Signage Required building signage will be provided by POPD. Individual physical worksites may post The Universal Requirements for Physical Mitigation and Reduction of the Transmission of COVID-19 and any of the “do your part” signage available to download on the Campus Ready website. Have you put together a signage program for your physical worksite? Yes No Guide to Determine Space Configurations There are several steps to determining worksite space configuration under the COVID-19 guidelines and a variety of types of spaces to consider. Determine the capacity of each of the spaces in your physical worksite area or obtain the COVID-19 capacities by downloading them. Determine the best method to physically distance your employees 6-8 feet apart from one another. Have you determined the capacity of each of the spaces in your physical worksite area and the best location for capacity (or maximum occupancy) signage? Yes No Have you confirmed that physical distancing guidelines have been applied to the restrooms in your worksite area? Yes No POPD will determine the optimal path of travel through the building in which your worksite is located, points of ingress, egress, and the directional path of travel for the stairways. These elements should be incorporated into your plan. Have you incorporated the path of travel through your building, the points of ingress, egress and the directional path of travel for the stairways into your plan? Yes No Have you created a path of travel through your own worksite area? Yes No Use of Specific Space Types Specific space types such as conference rooms, shared support rooms and hoteling facilities are expected to be used differently in the COVID-19 environment. Conference Rooms will have restricted capacity and use guidelines. Have you reviewed the “Do Your Part” signage to determine if there is additional signage that can support your COVID-19 guidelines for conference room usage Yes No Hoteling workstations and areas are not encouraged in the COVID-19 environment, however, if they are required in your worksite area, please ensure that instructions for disinfecting the space are provided with disinfectant and rags. Have you created instructions for disinfecting hoteling spaces? Yes No Are there disinfectant and rags available for each employee to disinfect the hoteling space after each use? Yes No Kitchens/Breakrooms may be used to heat or store food, however, eating and/or congregating in kitchens or breakrooms should not be permitted. Have you provided signage for individuals to wait six to eight feet apart to heat and/or store their food? Yes No Have you developed a plan to remove and/or cordon off the breakroom furniture to prevent employees from gathering in the breakroom? Yes No Shared support/copy rooms should be used by a single individual at one time. Have you suggested signage that denotes a waiting area and physically distances users waiting to use the shared support room? Yes No Furniture must be cordoned off or removed from lounges and colloquy spaces as they encourage assembly. Have you developed a plan to remove or cordon off lounges and colloquy spaces so that employees do not assemble in them? Yes No As we ready our spaces for certain departments to return to onsite operations, each returning department will need to examine their work environment and create a worksite plan that meets current public health and Merced County guidelines before employees who’ve been working remotely may gradually return to campus.
