In this expert perspective, Colin Shields, Senior Director of Environmental Health and Safety and Risk Management at Flagship, discussed safety tips for the workplace, with a focus on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Shields emphasized the importance of avoiding "COVID complacency" by continuing to follow CDC guidelines, such as wearing masks and washing hands, even as cases decline and vaccinations increase. He also stressed the importance of deferring deferred maintenance, meaning taking care of one's own health by not delaying or avoiding routine and preventive medical care. Additionally, Shields urged individuals to get vaccinated, as the COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective in reducing the spread and severity of the virus.
