Health & Safety Toolkit
Maintaining health and safety in the workplace is essential to successfully navigating COVID-19, as we move from crisis to a “new normal” and reopen the economy. To earn the trust of employees and customers, companies are encouraged to enact procedures and protocols that minimize the introduction, exposure or spread of COVID-19 in the workplace.
From the start of the COVID-19 crisis, the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and MMAC have partnered to provide expert advice through webinars and various resources. As we move to the next phase, MCW and MMAC continue to partner by sourcing and vetting information to develop a toolkit to help businesses identify risks and implement health and safety procedures. The toolkit provides a one-stop shop for information, guidance and resources to get your business up and running as safely as possible. Updates to the toolkit will be implemented as more resources and information become available. Disclaimer >> |
MMAC/Milwaukee 7 Rebecca Goodmanson discusses how the Toolkit & Checklist can be applied to your business to operate safely.
Dr. Laura Cassidy from the Medical College of Wisconsin explains the science behind the toolkit’s information and resources.

As we learn to live responsibly with COVID-19 around us, these preventative measures are critically important for both your workforce and customers, here’s why:
Social/physical distancing prevents the virus from spreading through touch and proximity
|
Face coverings prevent the spread of the virus through speaking, coughing, or sneezing
|
Handwashing or using hand sanitizer (60% alcohol content) destroys the virus and prevents transmission through touch
|
Cleaning and disinfecting destroys the virus
|
Employees should stay home when not feeling well to eliminate personal interaction and remove the risk of transmission
|
As we continue to navigate life during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is normal for you and your employees to experience a wide range of emotions. It’s important to respect how you and others are feeling. When those feelings are acknowledged, understanding how to respond can be beneficial. Here are two resources to help you and your employees cope.
Below are some tools you can use for your Smart Restart and for continued health and safety over time.
