The Wear-It Study, part of the PROTECT COVID-19 National Core Study, aims to measure and understand how people interact in the workplace.
HSE’s team of dedicated researchers has been joining forces with workplaces to generate detailed data on workers’ interactions and support national efforts to:
- Better understand and control the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus which causes COVID-19) as we adapt to living with the disease
- Develop our understanding of how we could better respond to future respiratory infectious disease outbreaks or pandemics if they occur
Your help is needed
Workplaces of interest include those with indoor operational areas, such as large offices, food and drink manufacturing, engineering, warehouses and fulfilment centres, and others – ideally with 50+ workers on site.
If your organisation is willing to take part, we would invite workers to wear small devices while at work for up to two weeks.
