• Corporate Authors:
  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.) ; United States. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• Description:
  This tool is intended to assist health departments in the assessment of infection prevention and control programs and practices in meat and poultry processing facilities to make recommendations regarding COVID-19. This tool can serve as a template for assessing a facility; elements and response options can be removed or added depending on the local situation, assessment goals, and facility characteristics. Information to complete an assessment can be gathered through review of written policies and procedures, discussion with facility management and worker representatives, and direct observation if
  
  a site evaluation is planned. This tool is not intended to assess regulatory compliance. If feasible, direct observation of infection prevention and control practices is encouraged. This tool should be used by qualified public health or health and safety professionals familiar with the topics and content of the tool (assisted as needed by CDC/NIOSH project officer(s) and state or local public health entities).
