Ensuring everyone’s health and safety

Safe museum against COVID-19

The Global Safe Site certifications from Bureau Veritas and Safe Tourism Certified from the Institute of Tourism Quality obtained by the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza guarantee it as a safe Museum against COVID-19.

Both certify that the Museum complies with the safety standards and hygiene, cleaning and disinfection prevention protocols required by the health authorities, which ensure that in the Museum there is the minimum risk of contagion and spread of the virus.

THE MUSEUM ACTIVATED THE NECESSARY MECHANISMS FOR THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PROTOCOLS ALONG WITH THE PREVENTION AND COORDINATION MEASURES TO GUARANTEE COLLECTIVE PROTECTION AND THE CONTAINMENT OF POSSIBLE SOURCES OF CONTAGION.

Within this framework, a series of prevention measures were adopted, including those detailed below: • Drafting of prevention protocols for staff, reopening of the Museum and the rest of the Museum’s activities: events, education, security, restoration, etc.

• Coordination of the design and installation of protection elements and

partitions for employees who work face-to-face with the public, of the signage and graphic elements, of dispensers and hygiene elements.

• Definition of the risks associated with certain jobs to establish specific

prevention measures and the necessary PPE to mitigate these risks.

Vulnerable staff who were specifically recognised by the External Prevention

Service were identified. • Remote working has been made easier for all staff, establishing a hybrid work organisation system (semi-face-to-face).

For the reopening of the Museum to the public, a series of actions and measures were established to prevent contagion: • Gradual and progressive integration based on the needs of the service and the presence of vulnerable groups • Semi-face-to-face system, combining face-to-face work and remote work. • Staggered work shifts • Short working days to avoid coinciding in the common areas • Limited capacity in common areas

In financial year 2020, the usual health and safety activities were maintained, such as those detailed below: • Annual flu vaccination campaign. • Annual medical examinations for the entire staff. • Gynaecological and urological medical examinations for staff over 50. • Occupational risk assessment. • Sending fact sheets on JSA by positions to the entire staff.

During the past two years there have been no work-related accidents requiring sick leave.
