Eurofins is a world leader in the provision of clinical diagnostics, forensic, pharmaceutical, food and environmental laboratory testing. Dedicated to testing for life, across all these sectors, Eurofins is uniquely positioned to offer a very comprehensive range of COVID-19 related tests and services including staff PCR and antibody testing, environmental surfaces PCR, product and wastewater testing and consulting services. Eurofins has drawn on its vast scientific resources and brought on stream several new laboratory facilities to develop and carry out a full range of COVID-19 tests in response to the Coronavirus pandemic.

As we now look to getting back to work or continuing business as usual, implementing proactive solutions to contribute to the safety of your staff, your customers and indirectly their families is a top priority for all businesses. The Eurofins SAFER@WORK™ programs are designed to support businesses to be able to detect SARS-CoV-2 in their workplace as early as possible and reduce contamination risk of staff and customers in a practicable and cost effective manner.

The Eurofins  SAFER@WORK™ programs are designed and implemented by our experts and consulting partners, and testing is carried out in Eurofins government licensed clinical laboratories, in compliance with local regulations. Our consulting teams can advise your company on testing frequency and mix, sampling protocols, testing regime plan and design, sampling techniques, site selection, corrective action plans and adverse result investigations. By combining workplace surfaces and wastewater testing together with risk-based clinical testing, as well as relevant consultative, audit, and assurance services, SAFER@WORK™ programs allow for a focus on human clinical testing where virus presence is likelier. This approach reduces cost and supports health authorities to allocate capacity constrained human COVID-19 testing where it is most needed.

Our solutions include:

• Designing and auditing of COVID-19 related sampling and testing protocols as well as action plans;
• Detecting the potential presence of the virus within teams on a site or in a given community through wastewater testing;
• Testing for the virus on all types of environmental surfaces in the workplace to detect potential risks early and monitor the effectiveness of cleaning protocols;
• Testing employees, when needed and as decided by a qualified physician, within the guidelines of healthcare authorities in each country (with a range of modalities including PCR testing and/or serology testing for various antibodies);
• An array of other solutions ranging from assurance and consultative services, relevant product testing, and self-assessment or e-learning tools.

SAFER@WORK™ programs are well supported by both internal Eurofins resources and consulting partners across the world to deliver a coordinated service tailored to each client. Indeed, each business requires a different approach and the program comprises a number of service offerings, or an individually customized service, dependent on each business’ needs, to ensure it receives the best mix of testing and associated services required for its staff and customers to be SAFER@WORK.
