UW team advises employers how to keep employees and customers safe from COVID-19
As businesses look towards resuming work operations amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many have questions and concerns about reopening safely.
To address this issue, Martin Cohen, teaching professor at the University of Washington Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences, established the Return-To-Work Task Force.
The task force combines expertise across disciplines to inform various businesses on how to return to work safely. Thus far, the task force has advised over two dozen companies on workplace safety protocols and provided innovative workplace solutions for many different businesses, ranging from hair salons to regional transit agencies.
