COVID-19 Tests, Vaccinations & Shortened Quarantine Periods

Shortened Quarantine Periods

Given what we currently know about COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, the CDC has shortened the recommended time for isolation for the public.

• People with COVID-19 should isolate for 5 days and if they are asymptomatic or their symptoms are resolving (without fever for 24 hours), follow that by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others to minimize the risk of infecting people they encounter. 
• The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to the onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.

Government Supplied COVID-19 Tests

Have you heard that the government is giving away FREE COVID-19 tests? Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order 2 sets of 4 free at-home tests.

You can go to https://www.covidtests.gov/ to order your at-home tests today! Or you can call 1-800-232-0233 to place your order.

COVID-19 Vaccine

You can head out to the CDC  to research the COVID-19 vaccination to decide if vaccination is right for you. If you do want to get vaccinated, you can be assured that your Teammate Benefits cover the cost of vaccination if you are enrolled in the Teammate Benefits program.

Safety Zone

To Protecting Your Eyes At Work

Eye injuries in the workplace are very common. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reports about 2,000 U.S. workers sustain job-related eye injuries that require medical treatment each day. However, safety experts and eye doctors believe the right eye protection could have lessened the severity or even prevented 90% of these eye injuries.

Did you know that as an Ōnin Teammate, you have access to a Prescription Safety Eyewear program that can save you money?

You can find out more by contacting your local Ōnin branch’s office.

Simply using the proper eye protection on the job could prevent thousands of eye injuries each year. Common eye injuries occurring at work can result from chemicals or foreign objects in the eye and cuts or scrapes on the cornea. Other causes of injuries include splashes with grease and oil, burns from steam, ultraviolet or infrared radiation exposure, and flying wood or metal chips.

In addition, health care workers, laboratory and janitorial staff, and other workers may be at risk of acquiring infectious diseases from eye exposure. Some infectious diseases can be transmitted through the mucous membranes of the eye as a result of direct exposure to blood splashes, respiratory droplets generated during coughing, or from touching the eyes with contaminated fingers or other objects.

Two major reasons workers experience eye injuries on the job are because they were:

1. Not wearing eye protection, or
2. Wearing the wrong kind of protection for the job.

A Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) survey of workers who suffered eye injuries revealed that nearly three out of five were not wearing eye protection at the time of the accident. These workers most often reported that they believed protection was not required for the situation.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires the use of eye and face protection whenever there is a reasonable probability of injury that could be prevented by such equipment. Personal protective eyewear, such as goggles, face shields, safety glasses, or full face respirators must be used when an eye hazard exists. The eye protection chosen for specific work situations depends upon the type of hazard, the circumstances of exposure, other protective equipment used, and individual vision needs.

What are the potential eye hazards at work?

Potential eye hazards against which protection is needed in the workplace are:

• Projectiles (dust, concrete, metal, wood and other particles)
• Chemicals (splashes and fumes)
• Radiation (especially visible light, ultraviolet radiation, heat or infrared radiation, and lasers)
• Bloodborne pathogens (hepatitis or HIV) from blood and body fluids

Some working conditions include multiple eye hazards. The proper eye protection takes all hazards into account. The best methods of eye protection differ for each type of hazard. The protector must be matched to the potential hazard. High-risk occupations for eye injuries include:

• Construction
• Manufacturing
• Mining
• Carpentry
• Auto Repair
• Electrical Work
• Plumbing
• Welding
• Maintenance

You must report any and all incidents and accidents to your local branch as soon as possible, even if you think it is small and insignificant. Let the professional be the judge!
