your business, website and social media accounts – showing the measures being
taken to keep your teams and workplace safer.
STAFF PCR
TESTING
Staff PCR testing will detect the virus before it has been cleared by the immune system. Essentially it
tests whether someone has significant virus present in their throat (also called nasopharyngeal tract) at
the time of sampling.
PCR testing of your workforce will assist in determining whether an employee is contaminated,
infectious, and whether it is safe for this individual to remain at home or return to work (as
decided by a doctor according to locally applicable health guidelines.)
A sample is collected via deep nasal swabs or saliva. The sample is sent to the laboratory where a
technique called Reverse Transcription Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR or
sometimes shortened to PCR) is used to confirm the presence of the virus.

STAFF ANTIBODY
TESTING
Staff antibody testing (also called serological test) detects infections after the immune system has
produced antibodies which recognize the virus. These antibodies (eg. IgGs) may remain in the
bloodstream long after someone has recovered from the virus.
Antibody testing indicates the person has been exposed to the virus, which combined with other
dimensions (such as medical history, PCR testing, national or state guidelines) can help a health
care professional decide if this person should be present at work. It can, therefore, helpexpedite
a doctor’s decision to support staff getting back to work.
A blood sample is taken and sent to the laboratory for antibody analysis. Laboratory (ELISA) analysis is
generally more sensitive than self-testing lateral flow devices. If antibodies to the SARS- CoV-2 virus are
present, it indicates the person tested has previously been exposed to the virus.

ENVIRONMENTAL
SURFACES PCR TESTING
Environmental surfaces PCR testing is designed to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus on all types of surfaces to
give you an indicator of presence of the virus in your workplace (which can trigger additional measures listed in
your risk management plans) and to provide confidence that the cleaning and decontamination methods used in
your working environment are effective.
Swabs provided are used to sample exposed surface areas in office spaces, communal areas (e.g.
canteens, toilets, vending machines), production lines, medical facilities, vehicles and general public
areas.
The test screens for the envelope gene present in a broad range of SARS-coronaviruses with a fast and very
sensitive RT-PCR test. And then, if desirable, uses a second RT-PCR test to confirm the presence of the SARS-
CoV-2 virus. Once swabbing is complete samples are sent to the laboratory for analysis in packaging provided
by Eurofins.

SITE WASTEWATER
TESTING
Studies have demonstrated that the presence of viruses in wastewater can be a strong indicator of
the presence of virus in a given location or workplace prior to the onset of symptoms.

Regular wastewater testing of your site’s effluents and on-going monitoring of your facility
or departments can provide an indicator of the potential presence of the virus within your
teams and environment, and steer your additional testing programs.
