We asked employees of participating organizations how they felt about their workplace rapid screening program.
It is another layer of health and safety measures for workers to carry on tasks in an enclosed environment during the pandemic. Implementing this system in our organization makes it more accountable that there is minimum risk of individuals who are asymptomatic and could potentially spread the virus.
Machine Operator, DECIEM
I feel safe. I protect my family, my work colleagues as well as myself. Very easy and quick to do. We protect ourselves between colleagues. The more people do this, the less chance we have of contracting covid-19.
Coordinator of Medical Operations, Telus Santé
I am grateful and relieved that our organization has taken this project to lessen my worries by not always having to think that my colleague may be asymptomatic.
Facility Inspector, DECIEM
Fantastic! Relief! The process itself is incredibly easy and I cannot stress enough how non-invasive it is. You really don’t feel a thing beyond a slight tickle at the base of your nose, if that! The mental relief of being able to do this is actually freeing. For all the protocols we have in place, this is the ultimate level of comfort.
Senior Manager, Operations, Scotiabank
The fact you can come into work a few minutes early get the test done is a great thing. I have since booked another test and will continue to do so for the safety and peace of mind, the results provides.
Replenishment Manager, Real Canadian Superstore
Screening twice weekly gives me the comfort that I am keeping myself and others safe. Knowing that over 3000 Air Canada employees are frequently screened will ensure a reduction in transmission. Implementing a rapid screening system increases the safety of our employees and customers.
Manager, Operations Excellence, Air Canada
Participating in the rapid antigen screening gives me peace of mind when I return home to my family. I am proud to be supporting the CDL Rapid Screening Consortium in developing and improving the workplace rapid screening program and mentoring new companies.
