4. TIPS FOR FIELD WORKERS AND THOSE
WORKING WITH WALK-IN CLIENTS
Ensure as a DMR/FSTL representative, that
when engaging with the public and/or food
processing facilities (or vendors) to do the
following:-
1. Proper masks worn at all times (covering the
nose)
2. Hand sanitizer/wet wipes should be kept on
person at all times
3. If available, disposable coveralls or
disposable gear should be worn and as the
name implies, should be disposed of once
leaving the field
4. If wearing non-disposable clothing, ensure
that upon return home, all clothing is placed
in a bag for washing or straight into the
washing machine if present at home.

5. 5. Shoes should be sanitized within a footbath
of 1 part chlorine to 3-4 parts of water and
left at the door (designated solely for field
work or heading outdoors). If using
disposable boot covers, then such can be
taken off and discarded in a trash bin.
6. Clean automobiles routinely to prevent the
spread of the virus and other
microorganisms.
7. Best to wear a hat and/or shades if outdoors
as well (but ensure to wash the hat or
spray with a disinfectant) and clean and
sanitize the shades at end of day or if an
accident occurred that comprised either of
the items.
8. Maintain a social distance as far as possible
with clients at a minimum of 3 ft.

6. At least 6 feet
apart workstations
and/or
