In addition to the commonly recognized guidelines listed above, most companies utilize a written
safety manual that should be kept in work vehicles and updated annually, especially with the current
pandemic. Mandatory review and training should be conducted by a professional or appropriate
company personnel such as the safety officer. There are many hazards associated with working in
and around sewers, manholes and lift stations and each hazard should be understood and have an
appropriate equalizer for every potential hazard.
Take a few minutes and review OSHA's primary resource for all things COVID, the COVID-19 Safety
and Health Topics Page (osha.gov/SLTC/covid-19). This web page is routinely updated, and we
encourage you to review it frequently. General guidance on this resource page includes topics like:
* Ten Steps All Workplaces Can Take to reduce Risk of Exposure to Coronavirus Poster
* COVID-19 Hazard Recognition
* COVID-19 Control and Prevention
* Videos Providing Quick Safety Tips
* Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Lastly, there are some additional steps field workers should consider depending on their type of
work. Some of these include:
* First aid training
* CPR training
* Confined space training
* Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and maximizing immune system (adequate sleep,
exercise, hydration, nutrition, supplements, reducing alcohol intake, quit smoking etc.)
* Vaccines
We have become more health conscious in 2020 (which is a good thing!) and people will hopefully
reduce the spread of viruses with more common-sense hygiene, and not try to be a hero by coming
to work when they are sick and just pushing through it. Going to work while sick has massive potential
to spread viruses to our coworkers, clients, and the general public and should be avoided at all costs.
