Exemplar workplace-related SARS-CoV-2 benchmarks are described and illustrated with empirical data.<h4>Methods</h4>Benchmarks were collected over a 9-month period on a large workplace (N = 5500+). These ranged from quantitative indices associated with RT-qPCR targeted testing and random surveillance screening, surveillance for new variants of SARS-CoV-2, intensive contact tracing, case management, return to work procedures, to monitoring of antibody seropositive status.<h4>Results</h4>Data and analyses substantiated effectiveness of interventions. This was evidenced in suppressed infection rates, rapid case identification and isolation, acceptance of the program Journal of occupational and environmental medicine548-556https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8247538biostudies-literatureBenchmarking SARS CoV-2 Infection in the Workplace to Support Continuity of Operations.PMC8247538Iddins BOBuck BWaugh MHCato TShourbaji RWesh CGraham DEAttia KJones DPartin AfalseBenchmarking SARS CoV-2 Infection in the Workplace to Support Continuity of Operations.<h4>Objective</h4>The COVID-19 pandemic jeopardizes continuity of operations of workplaces and the health and safety of workers.
