Individuals are responsible for cleaning and disinfecting their workstations.

These types of facilities are made available at site entries, exits, washrooms, eating areas, offices, and any other areas with commonly touched surfaces.

Where this is not possible due to task-specific safety risks, a risk assessment is done to identify controls to protect the health and safety of the workers.
