Workforce protection and safety are critical to reopening campus.
This page provides guidance to help schools, colleges, and divisions (S/C/D) make effective process and facility-use changes intended to prevent workplace transmission of COVID-19 once they are approved to return to campus.
All S/C/D should implement a safety plan that:
- Is specific to your workplace
- Identifies all areas and job tasks with potential exposures to COVID-19
- Includes control measures to eliminate or reduce exposures
This page is part of the campus Smart Restart. Refer to the campus page for the most updated guidance.
