Employers reminded to ensure safer on-site work, provide support for quarantined staff

MANILA, Philippines — The Palace reminded employers on Friday to make sure minimum public health standards are observed in work places and to put in place remote work arrangements if possible.

Speaking at a Palace briefing, Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles — acting presidential spokesperson — said that the departments of health, labor and employment, and trade and industry have already released guidelines for safer on-site work.

Employers are supposed to designate health safety officers who will remind workers to wear masks and observe physical distancing. These health safety officers are also supposed to monitor and track symptoms if employees have any.
