Do you know that… companies will have to update the risk assessment document for the presence of biological risk from the Coronavirus?

Il diffondersi del nuovo virus COVID-19 (cd coronavirus) impone alle aziende di aggiornare il Documento di Valutazione dei rischi (cd DVR), tracciando il nuovo rischio biologico ad esso collegato. Ciò in quanto il datore di lavoro: (i) ai sensi dell’art. 2087 cod. civ., ha il dovere di apprestare tutte le misure di sicurezza al fine di garantire l’integrità fisica e la personalità morale dei dipendenti e (ii) ai sensi del D.Lgs. 81/2008 ha la responsabilità di tutelare i lavoratori dall’esposizione a rischio biologico con la collaborazione del Medico Competente, ove presente. Il datore di lavoro deve individuare misure di prevenzione e prevedere sessioni formative specifiche per i lavoratori coinvolti. Resta inteso che tra le misure di prevenzione da implementare vi sono quelle fornite dal Ministero della salute, tra le quali si annoverano le seguenti: (i) lavarsi frequentemente le mani; (ii) evitare contatti ravvicinati con persone che soffrono di infezioni respiratorie acute; (iii) non toccarsi naso, bocca e occhi con le mani; (iv) pulire le superficie con disinfettante a base di cloro o alcol; (v) evitare contatti con persone che presentano sintomi simil influenzali.
