DPWH issues health and safety policy for visitors
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has come-up with guidelines in accepting Central Office visitors to make the workplace safe and possibly mitigate and suppress transmission of COVID-19.
With the transition of National Capital Region to general community quarantine (GCQ), the DPWH management will implement an interim protocol for visitors of DPWH Central Office in Port Area, Manila to ensure the welfare and safety of employees and transacting public.
Based on a memorandum issued by DPWH Undersecretary for Support Services Ardeliza R. Medenilla, only confirmed visitors will be allowed to proceed to specific office of the Department.
Undersecretary Medenilla said that the following guidelines for visitors are pursuant to Department Order No. 34 s. 2020 issued by Secretary Mark A. Villar entitled “Basic Hygiene, Workplace Sanitation and Social Distancing Measures to be Observed in the Workplace.”
All visitors must download the Visitor Screening Questionnaire from the DPWH website at http://www.dpwh.gov.ph/dpwh/ sites/default/files/051320.pdf and submit the accomplished form to the office concerned at least one (1) day before the scheduled meeting.
