AdvancedGeo, Inc. <br />Coronavirus (Covid-19) Prevention and Control Plan <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />➢ Shall determine if workers could be exposed to environments (e.g., worksites) or materials <br />(e.g., laboratory samples, waste) contaminated with the virus. <br /> <br />Depending on the work setting, we may also rely on identification of sick individuals who have signs, <br />symptoms, and/or a history of travel to COVID-19-affected areas that indicate potential infection <br />with the virus — in order to help identify exposure risks for workers and implement appropriate <br />control measures. <br />WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19 INFECTION? <br />Patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection have reportedly had some of the following symptoms: <br />➢ Mild to severe respiratory illness <br />➢ Fever <br />➢ Cough <br />➢ Shortness of breath <br />WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I THINK I HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO OR INFECTED WITH <br />COVID-19? <br />If you believe you have been exposed on the job, alert your supervisor or occupational health clinic <br />immediately. <br /> <br />Also notify your healthcare provider immediately if you think you may be infected with COVID-19, <br />including if you have been exposed to someone with the virus and have signs/symptoms of infection. <br />If you are experiencing symptoms, you should tell your healthcare provider about any recent travel <br />to areas where COVID-19 is spreading. <br />PREVENTING WORKER EXPOSURE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) <br />All workers and subcontractors should follow these general practices to help prevent exposure to <br />coronavirus: <br />➢ Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. <br />➢ If soap and running water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub that contains at <br />least 60 percent alcohol. <br />➢ Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands. <br />➢ Avoid close contact with people who are sick. <br /> <br />PROCEDURES IN THE EVENT A POTENTIAL OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE IS <br />IDENTIFIED <br />In the event potential occupational exposures to coronavirus are identified, we will implement these <br />practices: <br />➢ Assess the worksite hazards to which workers may be exposed. <br />➢ Evaluate the risk of exposure. <br />➢ Select, implement and ensure workers use controls to prevent exposure, including: <br />➢ Physical barriers to control the spread of the virus <br />➢ Social distancing
