Holistic Health Covid19 Response Plan

Holistic Health Covid19 Response Plan

Holistic Health

COVID-19 Response Plan June 2020

 

1. Introduction

I, Shauna Coyle have drawn up this document to highlight the steps I have taken to ensure the health and safety of all my clients. I take my responsibility in relation to COVID-19 seriously and prioritise the health and safety of my clients and their families.

This document is organic and will be updated as and when necessary.

Summary of new protocols

• All clients will receive an email before treatment for a COVID-19 screening form. Treatment will not go ahead if this is not complete prior to the appointment. If there is any difficulty with this link, please contact me on 0876110194 or sckinesiology@gmail.com

• This screening form will also act as a consent form to allowing your details to be shared if needed for contact tracing only.

• All clients agree to contact me if they become symptomatic within 14 days of attending our clinic or get a diagnosis of COVID-19.

• On arrival at the clinic please text me to let me know you have arrived and wait in your car until I come to greet you.

• Please be advised you will be required to wear a face mask while on site. You will be asked to sanitise your hands-on arrival in the clinic.

• You will be made aware of good hand hygiene and respiratory hygiene and have facilities to enable these practices.

• It will be necessary not to arrive more than 5 minutes before any appointment as the client cannot be permitted to enter prior to this.

• As client you will be also asked to attend by yourself, unless the client is a minor or vulnerable adult and in which case the guardian will also be required to go through the above process.

 

The following sections will cover key information and actions, which will be backed up by the checklists below. They are as follows:

Section 2:       Risk Assessment (Health & Safety Statement)

Section 3:       Increased Control Measures to manage COVID-19

Section 4:       Induction & Training

Section 5:       Dealing with a suspected case of COVID-19

Section 6:       Cleaning & Disinfection

Section 7:       Staff

 

2. Risk Assessment

The risk assessment for Holistic Health was developed through the Government BE Smart Program. This document identifies the risks and hazards for the business both in general and specific to COVID-19 and identifies the measures required to ensure the health & safety of both myself and my client. Please see attached Safety Statement developed for full details.

 

3. Increased Control Measures to Manage COVID-19
