中英对照：避免处罚，安省雇主在“封城”期间必须做什么？

 

 

安省的“封城”已经实施了一段时间。从过去一周的情况看，封城似乎已经见效。封城包括在没有必要的情况下不出门，那些必须营业的单位要采取防疫措施。

 

The current “Lockdown” in Ontario has been implemented for a while and starting this week, we seem to be making some progress from this effort. While we are cutting down all our non-essential trips outside of our homes, many other actions are implemented with the essential services providers.

 

安省劳工，培训和技能发展部（MLTSD）加大了其上门检查封城政策的执行力度，包括扩大对那些必须营业商家的检查。自1月20日以来，已有300多名检查人员（包括MLTSD检查员、警察、市政检查员等执法机构）前往允许营业的工作场所执法。这些场所包括：

 

The Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD) has announced the expansion of their inspection campaign to include a wider range of essential businesses and efforts. Since January 20, more than 300 provincial offences officers – a combination of MLTSD inspectors and other authorized enforcement bodies, such as local police officers and bylaw officers are visiting a variety of workplaces currently permitted to be open, such as:

 

·零售店，包括大型零售店

·外卖餐馆

·允许营业的服务场所（如加油站）

·农场

 

·Retail establishments, including big-box stores

·Restaurants providing take-out meals

·Essential service-sector establishments (such as gas stations); and

·Farming operations

检查的范围包括工作场地，员工的“休息”场所。员工在休息室和午餐室会放松警惕，忘记了人与人之间应该保持的距离，这容易造成疫情的爆发。

 

Inspections have included the jobsite/work area, as well as employee "off-the-clock" common areas where behaviours can become relaxed, such as breakrooms and lunchrooms, where transmission between workers can occur.

 

MLTSD还发布了工作场所的具体防疫规定。雇主要按照这些规定确保工作场所的安全，以保护员工、顾客和大众。

 

MLTSD also published a COVID-19 Safety Checklist for Workplace. Employers have been using this checklist to make sure their COVID-19 workplace safety plan contains key elements to help protect workers, customers and the general public.

 

以下是工作场所防疫的部分规定：

 

The following is an excerpt from this Safety Checklist:

 

1）工作场所要应尽可能减少人们面对面的接触机会。只要可能，雇主可以要求员工在家工作。雇主要尽可能实行在线工作，包括客户服务。只要可能，尽可能避免人与人接触的工作交接，包括采用在路边取货和送货上门。

 

1)In order to eliminate or reduce contacts, in-person interactions should be reduced as much as possible. Employees can be required to work from home for all tasks that can be done remotely; operate virtually using the internet, including client services; set up processes for contactless transfer of items where possible, including during curbside pickup and delivery.

 

2）如果工作场所无法避免人与人的接触，雇主要采取措施避免让已经被新冠感染的或与新冠病人有过接触的人进入工作场所。雇主要采取措施对员工、顾客进行体检，包括让员工和顾客回答是否有新冠症状和有无外出旅游。

 

2)Decrease the risk when contacts are necessary by Keeping people who are infected or exposed out of the workplace. Put a screening process in place using the tool(s) appropriate for your organization, such as: worker, employee, and customer COVID-19 screening done through the asking of a series of questions regarding symptoms and travel history.

 

雇主应该为员工因感染而隔离做准备，包括员工隔离时的经营措施。雇主必须制定如何帮助因新冠感染而隔离的员工的计划（包括采用灵活的上班时间，隔离期间的工资待遇）。

 

Employers should prepare for when workers must self-isolate and plan for how they will manage their operations without them. Plans must be made to support workers who must self-isolate (for example with flexible scheduling, information about leaves and financial support).

 

3）通过以下措施保持人与人的接触：

 

3)Ensure physical distancing can be maintained by:

 

限制工作场所的人数；利用所有室内、室外的可用空间来扩大工作区域。对办公家具和设备重新布置。只要可行，安装隔离屏，如有机玻璃。这些做法的目的是保持人与人之间保持两米的距离。雇主要在地上刷标记指示内部员工和外部人员的排队位置，计划员工工作，轮班和休息时间，从而减少工作区域的人数以及在工作区域所呆的时间。

 

Limiting the number of people in the space of the facility; open up more space by using and repurposing all available indoor and outdoor areas at the facility; rearrange or remove furniture and fixtures to maintain separation; install shielding barriers such as plexiglass where practical. Other ways of achieving this would be to keep a distance of two metres between people; assign workers to workstations that are at least two metres apart; place floor markings to show people where to line up inside and outside; and to schedule tasks, shifts and breaks to reduce the number of people sharing the same spaces and how long they are there.

4）戴口罩来遏制病毒传播。雇主可以要求和监督所有员工正确使用且在工作场所戴口罩，包括在进食和饮水时的口罩使用规则。雇主也可以为员工配备口罩。商家要确保客户、顾客、和大众戴口罩。雇主可以考虑向没有口罩的人提供或出售口罩，并有专人监督戴口罩。

 

4)Use of masks to curb transmissions: Employers can provide instruction and supervision to ensure all workers wear masks properly and consistently, including rules for their removal while eating and drinking. Employers can also select appropriate masks for the workers; ensure clients/patrons/public wear masks properly and consistently; consider providing or selling masks to those who don’t have one; and instruct supervisors on how to enforce masking.

 

商家还必须想办法为那些不能戴口罩的顾客提供服务。如果有工作无法保证人与人之间两米的距离，雇主要给员工配备防疫服（PPE）。

 

It is also necessary to provide service in alternative ways to customers who cannot wear a mask; ensure workers wear appropriate COVID-19 personal protective equipment (PPE) for all tasks where the worker is or may be within two metres of an improperly or unmasked person.
