Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Occupational Health
- Infectious Disease Control
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated robust infectious safety protocols in workplaces.
- Existing regulations required integration with international best practices for comprehensive pandemic response.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop clinical and organizational regulations for infectious safety and epidemiological response during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- To align workplace safety measures with Ukrainian legislative acts and global public health strategies.
Main Methods:
- Adherence to the Methodology for developing medical and technological documents for healthcare standardization.
- Incorporation of current Ukrainian legislation and international data on COVID-19 control.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive Protocol for infectious safety and antiepidemic measures was created.
- Key components include a Health Questionnaire for daily employee monitoring, self-assessment checklists for workplaces and public spaces, and an analytical report on compliance.
- The Protocol integrates thirteen appendices for detailed guidance.
Conclusions:
- The developed Protocol provides detailed instructions for balancing medical standards with employee and employer needs.
- It establishes a scientific evidence base for antiepidemic and infectious safety measures in the workplace.
- Implementation ensures compliance and promotes a safer work environment during health crises.
Objective:
The aim: Of the work was to develop clinical and organizational regulations ensuring infectious safety and epidemiological response in the work process (the case of COVID-19) based on the current legislative acts of Ukraine to combat the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), as well as on the data from international practices.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: The research objective was carried out in accordance with the Methodology for the development of medical and technological documents for the standardization of medical care.
Results:
Results: The Protocol includes organizational elements to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease, such as "The development of general provisions on infectious safety and antiepidemic measures during the COVID-19 pandemic in the company's workplaces, taking into account the legislative acts of Ukraine and international practices", which include: the development of "Health Questionnaire" (epidemiological data questionnaire) for daily monitoring of the company employee health; the development of "Checklist for self-assessment of the workplace", "Checklist for self-assessment of the public space"; the development of "Analytical report on compliance with the infectious safety rules in the workplace and in the public space on the basis of self-assessment", thirteen Appendices.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: "The Protocol for infectious safety and antiepidemic measures in the work process" is a detailed instruction that provides a balance of compliance with medical standards and reasonable needs of employees and employers through the implementation of scientific evidence base in antiepidemic and infectious safety measures in the workplace.
