(as recommended by WorkSafeBC)
.
As we navigate through the pandemic, our goal is to keep our members and staff safe.
COVID-19 Safety Plans have been developed and implemented to prevent the spread of communicable diseases in our facility. In addition, we have developed a Communicable Disease Prevention Plan as recommended by WorkSafeBC. The Plan is as follows:
.
Monitoring and reviewing information issued by the PHO:
- The Executive Director and COVID Task Force actively monitors news updates from the PHO, BC Health Authority, BC Centre for Disease Control, WorkSafe BC and ViaSport.
.
Measures, practices, and policies adopted to reduce the risk:
- Cleaning and Hygiene: VRC will continue to clean public spaces and sanitize high touch areas daily.
- Instruct staff to constantly monitor for symptoms of communicable diseases.
- Instruct staff to stay home and follow BC Centre for Disease Control for isolation if they have symptoms of a communicable disease, with pay.
- Signage to remind workers to wash their hands regularly and to cover coughs and sneezes.
- Hand sanitizer dispensers are available throughout the club and office.
- Office staff sanitize their workspace when transitioning from one person to another.
- Plexiglass barriers are available to seperate office and bar staff from customers.
- Masks are available to be worn by all staff in common areas, unless eating and/or drinking.
- Employees are given time off to receive vaccinations for COVID-19 and to stay home if reactions occur.
.
Additional measures in place in case of elevated risk:
- Reduce overlapping shifts where possible.
- Work at alternate locations in the club, for example, the lounge, the bar, the office.
- Work from home whenever is possible.
.
Communication Strategy:
- Post plans on club website.
- Post signage at the front door, office, janitorial staff areas, where appropriate.
- Update staff at weekly meetings or as necessary.
.
Monitoring and Continual Improvement
- The office will ensure measures are functioning properly, followed, and maintained.
- The office will continually monitor the guidance, orders, and recommendations from the PHO, BC Health Authority, BC Centre for Disease Control, WorkSafe BC, and ViaSport.
- Staff will be updated accordingly.
