Satisfaction and joy have been generated by the changes in Covid-19 infection prevention measures that many of us have already been able to experience.

The removal of acrylic dividers in a large part of the OSF dining room was one of the most noticeable and commented changes:

“I think it’s excellent because now we can have a little more rapprochement with our colleagues,” Osvaldo Muñoz, water treatment operator at Resiter, tells us. “We can talk more calmly, always respecting distance and protocol, but it is good to be able to meet at lunchtime,” he adds.

Luis Rebolledo, Administrator of Copec also comments: “If all the people enter with a negative antigen test, we think it is good that this restriction has been lifted”.

And soon the casino dividers at SCO will also be removed.

Thanks to the RTO, during the last shift change, the Front Line Software Support Engineer (FLSSE) team had the opportunity to meet completely, in a spontaneous meeting, for the first time in person. Isaac Goicovich and Enzo Barbagueletta agree that this type of meeting is fundamental to strengthen the bonds between colleagues and look forward to the next occasion, this time at SCO.

“Being able to interact in person allows us to generate more fluid collaboration,” María Jesús López, Front Line Software Support Engineer, tells us. “Several of my colleagues joined the team during the pandemic and we worked side by side virtually, even having coffee breaks on video calls, but this is different”.

Another of the changes introduced in the protocol is the non-requirement to wear bracelets or electronic bracelets for distancing. On this point, María Jesús comments: “We have very little contact with users. It’s nice not to have to wear the bracelet because we ran the risk of forgetting to charge it, plus, along with the watch, we had two devices on our wrist. However, we always keep our social distance and work with a mask. Today, we are already unconsciously careful with our peers”.

Francisco Pino, Technician I (Electronics), also celebrated the changes he perceived upon entering the last shift.  For him, “the entrance to the OSF is expeditious and, although we are delayed at the entrance, we no longer have to spend our rest time taking the PCR, which used to take some of us several hours”.

Jorge Sepúlveda, recently integrated to the Safety team as Risk Prevention Analyst, points out: “Despite the new changes in our entry and stay procedures at OSF, the call to all our colleagues is not to lower our guard in self-care to minimize the risks of contagion and to ensure that our team arrives home healthy. The pandemic is not over yet.”
