How it works
The Eurofins SAFER@WORKTM is the only program of its kind to provide the scientific expertise, and flexible approach based on your business, goals, and budget. Partnering with Eurofins means you will have access to the most up-to-date technology, medical staffing, and consultants providing a seamless experience in your journey towards reducing the impact of COVID-19 on your business.
Step One - Design Test Protocol
Epidemiologists identify which employees to test, frequency of testing, and the most appropriate sentinel program to determine how and where the virus is moving throughout the facility.
An example of the factors taken into consideration when Eurofins designs a COVID-19 test program for your organization’s population are listed below:
-
- Community Profile – local infectivity rates and risk factors.
- Sentinel Identification – surface, wastewater, worn mask and pooled testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus can all be used as a means of continually monitoring your environment for coronavirus. Determine which monitoring test(s) are most applicable based on the nature of your business, facility layout, and population behaviour.
- Available Budget – The budget for an effective test program should take into account the potential costs of a shut-down, temporary closure, or employee walkout.
- Initial Screen – In order to understand the current state of your business and the health of your stakeholders an initial round of PCR testing is highly recommended. This provides a baseline to build upon in subsequent testing schemes, phased return-to-work/school approaches as well as definitive quarantine plans.
Step - Two Organize Testing
Virus Testing - Quickly and efficiently react to limit the spread
of infection with accessibility to medical personnel including physician ordering, sample collection, and custom testing programs to identify which employees to test and at what frequency.
Sentinel Testing - Understand where and when your virus presence is most likely by using early warning indicators such as surface, wastewater, and used masked testing as well as nasal swab sample pooling. These solutions provide actionable COVID-19 surveillance for a fraction of PCR testing for your entire workforce, ultimately limiting the impact on your business, reduce costs, and allow you to allocate resources where they’re needed most.

- Monitoring your environment via surface, wastewater, as well as used mask and nasal swab sample pooling testing, provides an early warning indicator that allows you to implement corrections and additional controls, at a fraction of the cost of PCR testing.
Step Three - Communicate and Act
Symptom Tracking – fortify your employee risk profiling efforts by aligning employee screening, consent, and symptom tracking in app-based, secure platforms with integration abilities
Results – Receive results in real-time delivered securely, confidently, and on-time. Eurofins can integrate with B2B applications, third-party result platforms, and customize solutions based on your needs.
Contact Tracing – Should PCR testing return positive results or employees become symptomatic it is imperative to act quickly and limit the spread of infection. Eurofins has partnered with a leading contact tracing provider allowing you to implement and monitor social distancing compliance as well as, combined data to generate a heat map of areas or personnel that may have come into contact with COVID-19.
Step Four - Reduce Risk
Provide the reality of a safer work environment and the assurance for your employees and your customers.
The Eurofins Assurance Team has designed the SAFER@WORK COVID-19 VERIFIED audit standard to evaluate your level of preparedness for reopening and staying open to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in your workplace. Demonstrate your compliance with Eurofins Assurance standards and build trust and confidence in employees and customers by displaying the SAFER@WORKTM VERIFIED Seal at your facility.
