Regardless of the PPE, your county Department of Public Health should be involved and guiding all decisions.

Stay healthy and stay safe

Question

Social distancing Of 6 feet or greater.

 

Quarantining of individuals Who had been exposed to other personnel who recently developing Covid-19 without the use of masks vs the same situation with personal using PPE e.g., gloves, face masks and full face shields.

Any recommendations of policy of nearby workers in that situation? Type of PPE??

 

Thanks

Dear DCHAS Colleagues,

 

I am pleased to introduce two new ways to connect with the DCHAS community:

 

VIRTUAL DISCUSSIONS

Each month, we will feature a new discussion topic and moderator. Using Zoom, DCHAS members will have an opportunity to engage in conversation, share ideas and best practices, and build community. These will not be webinars - other than a short introduction of the topic, there will not be a formal presentation. The focus is on the discussion.

 

To kick this off, in June, I will lead a discussion on social distancing strategies in laboratories. 

 

VIRTUAL COMMUNITIES

The membership of DCHAS has a diversity of backgrounds and professional expertise: safety professionals, educators, lab managers, consultants in a variety of settings: academia, government laboratories, industrial labs, manufacturing, the arts, and more.

 

Sometimes, it's nice to share war stories, commiserate, and learn from people with similar interests and circumstances. As a benefit to our members, we would like to build virtual communities of people with common interests. We will facilitate quarterly Zoom meetings for each of these virtual communities.

 

Examples of Virtual Communities include embedded Safety Professionals, Chemical Educators, K-12 Community, Consultants, Academic Research Safety, Art Safety, or any common interest (related to chemical health and safety, of course).

 

LET'S GET STARTED

Interested? First, we need to know a little more about what timing you prefer (e.g., during the work day, in the evenings, on the weekend, etc.), which topics you'd like to discuss in the coming months, and which communities interest you.

 

Please complete this survey by Friday, June 5.https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RSRLRHC

 

I will schedule the first virtual meeting (on social distancing strategies) based on the feedback on timing. We will identify four virtual communities and schedule a meeting for each.

 

I look forward to seeing you (if you decide to enable video, which is not necessary) very soon.

 

Stay well,

 

Robin
