Dear Seniors,
Considering the outbreak of Swine Flu in India, what should the Companies do to prevent it from occuring in their offices? We are constantly sending information on Swine flu for awareness of people. Also ensure that people take precautionary measures in terms of using hand sanitisers and wearing masks.
But if an employee gets detected with Swine Flu and there is a need to give few days off to get the office sterlised. What should be done in this case? Do we have to work on weekends to compensate for this? Or mark this as a Declared Off?
Also those employees who are travelling from Swine Flu affected areas to other places and vice versa what should be the process observed for the same?
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Priyanka

Dear LEO ,

It is really a good work . One of my friend mailed it to me which I want to share with you all:-

Precautions to keep swine flu at bay

The deadly Swine Flu has reached the Indian shores following the global outbreak and now, claimed one life. However, Swine Flu is certainly one of those diseased where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Here are ten tips for you to keep away from the pandemic.



1. Wash your hands frequently

Use the antibacterial soaps to cleanse your hands. Wash them often, at least 15 seconds and rinse with running water.

2. Get enough sleep

Try to get 8 hours of good sleep every night to keep your immune system in top flu-fighting shape.

3. Drink sufficient water

Drink 8 to10 glasses of water each day to flush toxins from your system and maintain good moisture and mucous production in your sinuses.

4. Boost your immune system

Keeping your body strong, nourished, and ready to fight infection is important in flu prevention. So stick with whole grains, colorful vegetables, and vitamin-rich fruits.

5. Keep informed

The government is taking necessary steps to prevent the pandemic and periodically release guidelines to keep the pandemic away. Please make sure to keep up to date on the information and act in a calm manner.

6. Avoid alcohol

Apart from being a mood depressant, alcohol is an immune suppressant that can actually decrease your resistance to viral infections like swine flu. So stay away from alcoholic drinks so that your immune system may be strong.

7. Be physically active

Moderate exercise can support the immune system by increasing circulation and oxygenating the body. For example brisk walking for 30-40 minutes 3-4 times a week will significantly perk up your immunity.

8. Keep away from sick people

Flu virus spreads when particles dispersed into the air through a cough or sneeze reach someone else’s nose. So if you have to be around someone who is sick, try to stay a few feet away from them and especially, avoid physical contact.

9. Know when to get help

Consult your doctor if you have a cough and fever and follow their instructions, including taking medicine as prescribed.

10. Avoid crowded areas

Try to avoid unnecessary trips outside.

Dear Priyanka,



The following info is NOT an approved - or the "TO DO" thing. Its just a suggestion from my end.



Its as simple as doing this :



If you think someone had already had it in your office and is currently being treated - consider sending that person home for further treatment. Give a days / or two days off for sertilising the office



While giving employees a day off - ask them to get themselves checked for any swine flu symptons. This is important, and make it compulsory even if there is a small symptom.



Once they have all been thoroughly checked - issue guidelines on safety for them. See attachment I borrowed from The Hindu. Once they step near the office - ask them to immediately wash the hands with a good hand wash (keep dettol hand wash) and enough tissue papers and disposers. Each time they go out and come, they can wash their hands. Tell them that the virus passes either through eyes or mouth or nose - so they can be requested not to rub their eyes, mouth or nose.



Think of a safe transport they can chose - because - its spreading wide and people need to be really safe while traveling and getting closer to other people in the transit.





(will two days off kill the business? Na it will not - dont burden employees on weekends - let them take a break)
