The global coronavirus pandemic has had a far-reaching impact on workplaces. Pandemic restrictions and concerns about infection and transmission, have kept the public at home and away from businesses and organizations that are the lifeblood of our communities, with devastating consequences for many.

Since March 2020, more than 160,000 small businesses have shut their doors permanently, according to data gathered by Yelp for its monthly Economic Impact Report. One in five small business owners say that they will have to close before the end of the year. Meanwhile, our local institutions and organizations are struggling to serve their constituents safely during the current public health crisis.

As the pandemic continues, the best hope for businesses and institutions to reopen and rebuild is to ensure a safe environment for all entities who come in contact with them, including employees, clients and the community at large. Community trust in established safety measures will be critical to the survival and success of any organization or business in the months and years ahead.

This course, developed by TSS’s certified safety specialists, assists communities, employers and employees in gaining a full understanding of workplace safety issues related to COVID-19 and developing protocols and strategies that will mitigate the risk of virus transmission.
