CEMMATS Work Trend Amidst Covid19
Safety First.
This period has made us adapt to new ways of working. Remote virtual meetings are now the new means of communication and we now have a range of digital platforms. We have also learnt how effective technology has been for video conferencing and digital collaboration.
With the uncertainties of the crisis, CEMMATS now has a “new normal” in terms of operating. Therefore, a Risk Management Plan (RMP) has been formulated, which entails all identified potential hazards, assessment of associated potential risks, as well as sustainable control measures covering activities to be undertaken in a bid to reduce exposure to ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable).
For the purpose of this assignment, a Risk Assessment has been conducted making reference to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National COVID-19 Emergency Response Centre (NACOVERC) Sierra Leone’s guidelines to aid in categorizing and assessing all potential risks associated with reopening CEMMATS for “normal” business.
