SGP Precautions and Procedures Against COVID-19
SGP COVID-19 pandemic
task force has established and implemented all the necessary precautionary
measures within the port terminal and camp premises to mitigate health risk to
the employees and visitors to ensure business continuity in the event of a
virus outbreak. This is in line with the requirements, rules and regulations of
Mawani, MOH and MOI in Saudi Arabia.
Getting Prepared
Business Continuity and Pandemic Plans establish rules and guidelines to ease the workflow during the pandemic. Appoint a pandemic coordinator. Set up isolation rooms and get a leave of absence for suspected cases. Implement split team arrangements such as telecommuting and alternate sites. Identify disinfectant teams and contractors. Establish a contact tracing plan and postpone non-critical training.
Establishing Good Habits and Practices
1. Practice responsible social
distancing.
2. Avoid holding large
meetings/gatherings.
3. Step up cleaning and
disinfecting activities.
4. Carry out temperature
scanning for staff.
5. Implement temperature
scanning & health declaration for external visitors.
6. Logged details of internal
and external visitors.
Issuing Regular Communication
Having a communication plan to build widespread awareness and response readiness. Engage and re-assure internal and external stakeholders (e.g., staff, customers, contractors, authorities, and communities). Develop multiple platforms for communication (e.g., email, intranet, posters, and social messaging apps). Share health and travel advisories. Debunk rumors and misinformation.
PPE Kit
Providing thermometers, masks, sanitizers, and disinfectants.
Food Catering for SGP’s Staff
SGP caters lunch and dinner to all SGP staff for both terminals and in the camp accommodations to minimize the risk of spreading Covid-19.
Automatic Body Temperature Scanning
Automatic body temperature checkpoints at every in-door access point of both terminals. Avoid human interactions for temperature checks. Less exposure time in common areas.
