COVID-19

To raise awareness about the protection of health workers and other workers during the COVID19 outbreak and to disseminate WHO and ILO recommendations, WHO has set up a survey for all occupational health and safety professionals to be at the forefront of COVID19 preparedness, response and recovery to ensure that workers in health care facilities, in essential public services and other workplaces, including in informal and gig economy and migrant workers remain healthy, safety and productive during this outbreak.
You are kindly asked to fill the survey and share it widely with your networks. This survey is anonymous, your responses will not be associated with your name or email address, and no identifiable information on any individuals will be shared or presented in the survey results.

Here is the link to the survey tool.

WHO offers lots on information on Corona Virus and risk communication, as well as recommendations for protection of health workers and employers and workers in non-health care workplaces.
Additional WHO and ILO resources for protection of health and safety of health workers and responders are "Occupational safety and health in public health emergencies: A manual for protecting health workers and responders" in English and Chinese, forthcoming French, Spanish and Arabic, "Work improvement in health services, a training tool and action manual" in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arab and Chinese and "ILO, Guidelines on decent work in public emergency services"
