The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious public health threat that continues to permeate all populations and sectors in the country, and the job sector is no exception. To protect the welfare of the Filipino workforce, the Department of Health (DOH), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) together with the World Health Organization (WHO) and stakeholders from the different medical societies in the Philippines issue this handbook, which compiles essential information based on important issuances on COVID-19 prevention and management in the workplace. This hopes to provide proper guidance and appropriate information to all Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Committees and other key stakeholders to empower them in ensuring that Filipino employees and workers everywhere in the country know how to protect themselves, their colleagues, and families from the threat of COVID-19.

Version 1 as of September 2020. This handbook will be updated as we compile the most recent evidence and policies relative to the workplace, as the COVID-19 pandemic progresses.
