It is important that employees who are at work can receive sufficient support from the occupational physician for questions about this epidemic and any chronic health problems.
In this way, you as an employer remain able to operate the company safely with employees who feel safe at the workplace.
The medical examination requires close physical contact between the occupational physician and the nurse on the one hand, and the employee on the other.
To guarantee the general health and safety of both parties, we consider it natural to take sufficient measures with the aim of minimizing the risk of coronavirus infection.
Therefore, we ask you to observe the following guidelines:
- Medical examinations will again be scheduled every 15 minutes instead of every 20 minutes. Two 15-minute breaks will be scheduled to ventilate the rooms.
- Provide two rooms that are large enough to apply social distancing and that can be sufficiently mechanically or naturally ventilated.
- Where space or furniture does not provide sufficient distance, we ask that a partition, e.g. of plexiglass, be provided in the rooms where consultations take place.
- For new employees, you must download and have the questionnaire below filled out.
- For employees who require a medical selection, you must download and have the questionnaire below filled out.
- We ask you to clean the examination rooms, including the surfaces of tables and/or desks, prior to and following use by our staff.
Therefore, we ask your company to provide the following precautions to your employees;
- It is in no case advisable for employees to come for examination or consultation if they have one or more of the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, loss of smell or taste, cold, sneezing, sore throat, diarrhea, fever, ... These employees should contact their general practitioner. The appointment for the employee must be scheduled at a later time.
- We ask that your employees wear a (textile or surgical) face mask before they come for examination. If they do not have one due to circumstances, we will provide one for them to wear.
- Everyone keeps at least one and a half meters distance from other people.
- We ask that your employees arrive exactly at the scheduled time and certainly not too early to avoid a crowded waiting room.
- We ask that hands are washed or disinfected just before coming for consultation.
With this approach, we are jointly preparing for a safe and efficient new way of working.
