COVID-19 Safety Plan

June 8, 2020 Update: We are not approving any safety plans at this time due to the imminent release of the Reintegration Plan template and guidance. Your Reintegration Plan will need to be submitted and approved prior to your return to campus. Thank you for your patience and understanding. On March 25, 2020, in order to slow the spread of COVID-19, Governor Brad Little signed a Stay-Home Order for the State of Idaho. This order directs Idaho citizens to stay and work from home as much as possible. Exceptions to this directive are allowed for essential university functions. Employees who are required to perform an essential function should continue to report to work. Employees who are not required to be onsite to perform an essential function should remain home and work remotely as arranged with their supervisor. In an effort to ensure the health and safety of anyone who comes to campus during this time and to provide important information to the Vice President for Campus Operations/COO and the Department of Public Safety, individuals and departments planning to conduct work on campus in the coming weeks must complete this document and submit it for review. Individuals and/or departments without an approved plan on file should not be conducting work on campus at this time. Information on what is considered essential research can be found here: https://www.boisestate.edu/publicsafety-emergencymanagement/2020/03/24/research-continuity-guidance-during-covid-19-pandemic/

Social Distancing Requirements for On Campus Work

Until further notice, Boise State employees, students and other members of the campus community are required to maintain a distance of six (6) feet between individuals to the greatest extent possible. In complying with this order, all members of the university community will configure space as needed, including classrooms, workplaces, university-managed living spaces and dining halls to provide for maximum social distancing. It serves the university's goal to help reduce the spread and risk of COVID-19 when university buildings cannot be entirely closed and when employees cannot perform essential functions remotely. Employees must engage in ongoing communication with their supervisors and, if they are approved to work on-campus, ensure that their workspace is set up for maximum social distancing measures. Employees serving in a campus essential function, and who believe they may have been exposed to COVID-19, or are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat and body aches, or loss of taste or smell, are expected to stay home; avoid close contact with others; and contact their primary health care provider by phone. Upon exposure, employees serving in essential functions should contact their supervisor to ensure the essential function operations continue to be staffed accordingly.

Social Distancing

To ensure that proper social distancing procedures are being followed (maintain 6 feet between individuals, no non-essential gathering of individuals of any number, etc.), describe how you plan to prevent groups of people from gathering. Examples include, staggering start/arrival times, assigning restrooms, staggering breaks and lunch times.

Cleaning Procedures

In order to minimize the risk of exposure to others, you will be provided with a protocol for disinfecting surfaces that you may have come into contact with while working on campus. These may include shared computers and peripherals, door knobs, shared furniture and other surfaces in shared spaces, vehicles, etc. Please limit where you go on campus and only visit places that are absolutely necessary to complete your tasks.

Please indicate that you understand that you are responsible for disinfecting all surfaces that you may have come into contact with while working on campus by initialing in the box.

Self-Observation

According to the CDC, people should remain alert for fever, cough, or difficulty breathing. If they feel feverish or develop a cough or difficulty breathing during the self-observation period, they should take their temperature, self-isolate, limit contact with others, and seek advice by telephone from a healthcare provider or their local health department to determine whether medical evaluation is needed.

Please indicate that you understand that you are responsible for taking your temperature before each visit to campus by initialing in the box.

Tracking and Notification Procedures

Describe the methods you will use to track individuals in your space and who you will notify should you or a team member become ill with COVID-19 type symptoms. (We recommend creating a sign in sheet that documents name, date, time and duration of visit.)
