What is the primary mode of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in workplaces?
Foodborne
Waterborne
Respiratory droplets
Vector-borne
COVID-19 spreads mainly via respiratory droplets expelled when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. Other routes like waterborne or vector-borne transmission are not significant for SARS-CoV-2.
Which PPE item is most effective in preventing inhalation of respiratory droplets?
Gloves
Face shield
Safety goggles
Surgical mask
Surgical masks are designed to filter out respiratory droplets, thereby reducing inhalation of virus-laden particles. Gloves and goggles protect hands and eyes but do not filter inhaled air.
What is the minimum recommended physical distancing between employees to reduce COVID-19 spread?
3 feet (1 meter)
10 feet (3 meters)
1 foot (0.3 meters)
6 feet (2 meters)
Public health guidelines recommend maintaining at least 6 feet (2 meters) of distance to reduce the likelihood of droplet transmission. Shorter distances significantly increase exposure risk.
According to health guidelines, how long should you wash your hands with soap and water?
10 seconds
1 minute
5 seconds
At least 20 seconds
Washing for at least 20 seconds ensures sufficient time to remove pathogens from hands. Shorter or much longer times are either ineffective or impractical for routine compliance.
Which of the following is considered a high-touch surface that requires frequent disinfection?
Ceiling tile
Doorknob
Window pane
Carpet
Doorknobs are frequently touched by multiple people and can harbor viral particles if not disinfected regularly. In contrast, surfaces like ceiling tiles are rarely touched and pose less risk.
In a poorly ventilated office, which transmission route becomes more significant?
Direct water transmission
Fomite via carpets
Aerosol transmission
Foodborne
Poor ventilation allows fine aerosol particles to accumulate and remain suspended, increasing risk of airborne transmission. Foodborne or waterborne routes are not relevant in office settings.
What is the correct order for donning PPE to minimize contamination?
Goggles, gown, gloves, mask
Gown, mask, goggles or face shield, gloves
Mask, gloves, gown, goggles
Gloves, mask, gown, goggles
The accepted sequence is gown first, then mask, eye protection, and finally gloves to ensure each piece is applied without compromising others. Incorrect order can lead to self-contamination.
Which disinfectant concentration is recommended for killing SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces?
100% alcohol solution
30% alcohol solution
70% alcohol solution
10% alcohol solution
A 70% alcohol solution is optimal for denaturing viral proteins and disrupting membranes. Solutions that are too weak or too strong are less effective because of rapid evaporation or insufficient potency.
When arranging office workstations, what barrier method can supplement distancing?
Carpet runners
Wall art
Plexiglass screens between desks
Decorative plants
Plexiglass screens act as physical barriers that block respiratory droplets between adjacent workers. Decorative or soft items do not provide a protective barrier against droplets.
What minimum alcohol concentration should a hand sanitizer have to be effective against SARS-CoV-2?
60%
90%
40%
30%
Hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol effectively inactivate SARS-CoV-2 by disrupting its lipid envelope. Lower concentrations are insufficient for reliable viral kill.
A worker reports mild COVID-19 symptoms. What is the first immediate action?
Disinfect the entire building immediately
Isolate the worker and provide a mask
Send other staff home first
Call external contractors
The first step is to isolate the symptomatic individual and have them wear a mask to limit further spread. Sending others home or other actions should follow proper protocols after isolation.
Which additional measure complements temperature screening for workplace health monitoring?
Symptom questionnaires
Checking ID badges
Monitoring shoe cleanliness
Visual inspections of clothing
Symptom questionnaires help identify infected individuals who may be asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic and not yet feverish. Other listed inspections are unrelated to infection screening.
How does PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2 differ from rapid antigen testing?
PCR detects viral RNA with higher sensitivity but slower turnaround
Rapid antigen tests for viral DNA
PCR tests for past infection
Rapid antigen detects antibodies
PCR amplifies and detects viral RNA with high sensitivity, but laboratory processing takes longer. Rapid antigen tests detect viral proteins quickly but are generally less sensitive.
What ventilation strategy reduces airborne viral particles in a shared office?
Increasing outdoor air exchange rate
Lowering thermostat temperature
Closing windows
Recirculating air without filtration
Bringing in more fresh outdoor air dilutes and removes viral aerosols. Recirculation without proper filtration and closed windows allow particles to accumulate.
After a suspected COVID-19 case leaves the office, how long should you wait before cleaning?
Only when visible dirt appears
At least 24 hours if possible
1 week
Immediately without waiting
Waiting 24 hours allows viral particles to settle before disinfection, reducing risk to cleaning staff. Immediate cleaning can expose workers to airborne particles.
How does a HEPA filtration system help reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission indoors?
By capturing aerosol particles down to 0.3 microns
By generating UV light
By increasing humidity above 90%
By heating air above 100°C
HEPA filters remove particles as small as 0.3 microns, capturing aerosols that may contain virus. Other methods listed do not describe how HEPA filtration works.
Which cohorting strategy is most effective to minimize workplace transmission during an outbreak?
Assign employees to fixed teams working on separate shifts
Schedule spontaneous break rotations
Rotate employees daily among all teams
Allow free mixing of all employees across shifts
Fixed teams limit cross-exposure by ensuring that any infection affects only one group. Mixing or rotating teams increases opportunities for broader spread.
When analyzing compliance data for mask use and distancing, which metric indicates improvement?
Higher frequency of break room usage
Decreased percentage of non-compliance incidents over time
Increased reports of non-mask wearers
Constant number of incidents with increased workforce
A declining percentage of non-compliance incidents shows that interventions are working. Other metrics may reflect more people but not necessarily better adherence.
If the basic reproduction number (R0) is 3, what level of transmission reduction is needed to bring R effective below 1?
Exactly 50% reduction
More than 67% reduction in transmission
No reduction needed
25% reduction
To reduce R0 from 3 to below 1, transmission must be cut by at least (1 - 1/3)=66.7%. Any lower reduction will still leave an effective R above 1.
Which element of the hierarchy of controls offers the strongest protection against COVID-19?
PPE such as N95 respirators
Warning signs
Administrative controls like training
Elimination of hazard by remote work
Eliminating the hazard through remote work removes exposure entirely and is the most effective control. Administrative controls and PPE are lower in the hierarchy and rely on compliance.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Understand primary COVID-19 transmission routes - COVID-19 spreads mainly through respiratory droplets and by touching surfaces where the virus lands, so knowing these routes is like having a map of potential trouble spots. With this insight, you can set up smart defenses - from sneeze shields to superfizz cleaning supplies - to keep your space as safe as possible. Read the PMC study
  2. Master proper PPE use - Face masks, gloves, and eye protection are your personal armor in the battle against germs, but only if you put them on and take them off correctly. One slip during donning or doffing could turn your shield into a petri dish, so practice the steps until they're automatic. Explore OSHA's PPE guidelines
  3. Implement effective hand hygiene - Washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (or using 60%+ alcohol sanitizer) is like launching a mini cleaning party on your fingertips. Belt out a quick song while you scrub to hit the time mark and send those germs packing. View OSHA's hygiene tips
  4. Apply social distancing measures - Think of a 1 meter (3 feet) radius as your personal bubble - keeping that space between you and others dramatically cuts down transmission risk. Rearranging desks and markers on the floor makes it fun and easy to stick to the rules. Check WHO's distancing Q&A
  5. Recognize and manage suspected cases - Spotting symptoms early - like coughs or fevers - is your cue to gently guide that teammate to a safe isolation spot and kickstart your outbreak-control plan. Quick action keeps one concern from becoming ten. Learn OSHA's case management steps
  6. Develop ongoing health monitoring strategies - Regular temperature checks, symptom self-reports, and a culture of open communication turn health screening into a team sport. When everyone plays along, you catch issues early and keep spirits high. See OSHA's monitoring recommendations
  7. Enhance workplace ventilation - Fresh air is like nature's own air filter - crank up fans, open windows, or add HEPA units to whisk away lingering aerosols. Better airflow means fewer viral hitchhikers hanging around. Review the PMC ventilation findings
  8. Conduct regular cleaning and disinfection - Think of cleaning agents as microbial ninjas that need a little time to strike - wipe surfaces, let the solution dwell for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, then wipe again. Consistency is your secret weapon. Read OSHA's cleaning protocols
  9. Provide infection prevention training - Turn employees into safety superheroes with hands-on demos of PPE, handwashing drills, and clear protocol walkthroughs. When knowledge sticks, everyone feels empowered to protect themselves and their colleagues. Explore WHO's training resources
  10. Stay informed about evolving guidelines - COVID-19 advice can change as quickly as trending memes, so bookmark reputable sources like OSHA and WHO and check them regularly. Staying current means your workplace is always one step ahead of the virus. Browse the latest OSHA updates
