Legal Representative
We hereby request permission for the HOTEL ISLA MUCURA with NIT 901079616-5 to continue working under all required protocols attached and decreed in resolution 666 of April 24, 2020 and allow the mobilization and workplaces, required to exercise the functions the operation of the hotel service within the exception #24 of Decree 593 of April 24 and earlier for Hotels and hotel employees. Employees currently active and in function of the hotel operation are:
OBJECTIVE
To generate and establish the sequences of general biosecurity activities in the framework of the pandemic for the new coronavirus COVID-19, to be adapted in the different sectors other than the health sector in order to minimize the probability of transmission of the virus from human to human during the development of all its activities, by means of constant supervision and evaluation.
SCOPE.
To implement the measures and processes required for the preventive activities of the people who carry out the operational and administrative procedures of the Hotel Resort Isla Mucura for the due process of prevention and transmission.
BACKGROUND.
Coronavirus 2019 disease, caused by COVID-19 virus, was first detected in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. On January 30, 2020, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the current outbreak to be a public health emergency of international concern. Given the presence of COVID-19 disease in Colombia, after March 6, 2020, the country begins the containment phase in which it is important to give instructions in the framework of intervention, response and care of COVID19, especially for the rational use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in health and community settings, based on WHO recommendations (World Health Organization (WHO), 2020).
In view of the health situation in the country, the following recommendations are established for personnel who perform social assistance activities (understood as those that are provided to solve situations of various kinds and serve to improve the living conditions of people, including public transportation service, personnel who provide services in stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, home workers, public cleaning service, security, kitchen staff, among others).
GENERAL ASPECTS.
Keep in mind that any protective measure must ensure that it adequately protects the worker from those risks to his health or safety that cannot be avoided or sufficiently limited by the use of collective means of protection or the adoption of work organization measures.
Information and training are essential in the protection of persons in contact with cases under investigation or confirmed cases and those at risk of exposure to the virus.
Protection goes beyond the worker and includes all other persons susceptible to direct or indirect contact with the case.
Limit the number of people and the time of exposure to the minimum possible and a list of exposed workers, the type of work performed, as well as a record of the corresponding exposures, accidents and incidents should be established.
Written instructions should be made available to workers in the workplace and, if appropriate, notices should be posted containing, as a minimum, the procedure to be followed in the event of a contact accident.
It is very important to bear in mind that exposure of healthcare and non-healthcare workers who, on the basis of their personal characteristics or known biological state (health conditions), due to previous pathologies, medication, immune disorders or pregnancy, are considered especially sensitive to the risk of contagion, should be avoided.
Taking into account the current measures taken by the National Government to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the following guidelines should be followed:
Definitions
Isolation: separation of a person or group of persons known or believed to be infected with a communicable and potentially infectious disease from those who are not infected, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Isolation for public health purposes may be voluntary or mandated by order of the health authority.
Respiratory isolation: applies when respiratory droplets with low diffusion range (up to 1 meter) are expected to be present.
Droplet isolation: refers to measures to control infections by respiratory viruses and other agents transmitted by droplets (> 5 mieras) propelled a short distance through the air and which may enter through the eyes, nasal mucosa, mouth or non-intact skin of the person in contact with the patient.
Contact isolation: refers to measures to control direct contact when it occurs in the transfer of blood or body fluids from one patient to another susceptible individual. Contact can be made on the skin, mucous membranes or lesions; as well as by direct inoculation into the bloodstream and indirect contact: occurs when the susceptible host comes into contact with the infecting microorganism through an inanimate intermediary (clothing, fomites, room surfaces) or animate (health personnel, another patient) that was initially in contact with that microorganism. In this case, an anti-fluid disposable gown or polyethylene suit is used, the latter for high biological risk.
Asepsis: absence of microorganisms that can cause disease. This concept includes the preparation of equipment, instrumentation and change of operations by means of sterilization and disinfection mechanisms.
Biosafety: set of preventive measures aimed at eliminating or minimizing the biological risk factor that may affect the health, environment or life of people, ensuring that the development or final product of such procedures does not endanger the health and safety of workers.
Cohort of patients: grouping of patients who are colonized or infected with the same microorganism, in order to limit their care to a single area and avoid contact with other patients Cohorts are created according to diagnostic confirmation (clinical or microbiological), epidemiological criteria and the mode of transmission of the infectious agent. It is preferred to avoid placing severely immunosuppressed patients in rooms with other patients. Mathematical modeling studies support the strength of cohorts in outbreak control.
Close contact: is contact between persons within 2 meters or less of each other in a room or in the care area of a confirmed or probable COVID-2019 case for a time greater than 15 minutes, or direct contact with secretions from a probable or confirmed case while the patient is considered infectious.
COVID-19: is a new disease, caused by a new coronavirus that has not been seen before in humans. The name of the disease was chosen following the best practices established by the World Health Organization (WHO) for naming new infectious diseases in humans.
Disinfection: the destruction of microorganisms on a surface by means of chemical or physical agents.
Disinfectant: is a germicide that inactivates virtually all recognized pathogenic microorganisms, but not necessarily all forms of microbial life, e.g. spores. This term applies only to inanimate objects.
Hypochlorite: is a group of disinfectants that are among the most commonly used. This group of disinfectants has a rapid effect on a wide variety of microorganisms. They are the most appropriate for general disinfection. As this group of disinfectants corrodes metals and also produces discoloration effects, it is necessary to rinse the disinfected surfaces with this product as soon as possible.
Surgical Mask: personal protection element for the respiratory tract that helps block larger droplets of particles, spills, aerosols or splashes, which could contain microbes, viruses and bacteria, so that they do not reach the nose or mouth.
Contaminated Material: Material that has been in contact with microorganisms or is suspected of being contaminated.
NIOSH: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the United States of America.
Health care providers: Refers to health care institutions – IPS, independent health care professionals, patient transport and entities with a different social purpose that provide health care services.
Biosanitary Waste: all those elements or instruments used during the execution of a procedure that have contact with organic matter, blood or body fluids of the user.
Hazardous Waste: any object, material, substance, element or product that is in a solid or semi-solid state, or is a liquid or gas contained in containers or tanks, whose generator discards, rejects or delivers it because its properties do not allow it to be used again in the activity that generated it or because the legislation or regulations in force so stipulate.
SARS: Severe acute respiratory syndrome.
SARS-CoV-2: shortened version of the name of the new coronavirus «Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2» (first identified in Wuhan, China) assigned by the International Virus Taxonomy Committee, in charge of naming new viruses.
General measures for hotel isolation of quarantined guests.
Persons who must carry out the preventive isolation process in the hotel must take into account:
Biosecurity measures for workers to mitigate the containment of virus transmission are as follows:
In no case shall the obligation to implement this protocol result in disregard or deterioration of conditions or in the termination of labor ties, and other contractual forms of the personnel of the companies.
General measures
The measures that have shown the most evidence for the containment of virus transmission are as follows:
In addition to these measures and taking into account the dissemination mechanisms of the droplet virus and contact, the cleaning and disinfection processes of commonly used elements and supplies, surfaces, frequently used equipment, waste management of the activity or sector, adequate use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and optimizing the ventilation of the place and compliance with hygienic and sanitary conditions should be strengthened.
The following is a detailed description of the measures that have shown the most evidence for the containment of virus transmission.

DEFINITIONS
Waste: Any object, material, substance or element resulting from the consumption or use of a good in domestic, industrial, commercial, institutional or service activities, which the generator abandons, rejects or delivers and which is susceptible to use or transformation into a new good, with economic value or final disposal. Waste is divided into usable and non-usable. Likewise, waste from sweeping public areas is also considered as waste.
Generation of waste: It includes activities in which materials are sorted and/or collected together for disposal.
Final disposal of solid waste: Is the process of isolating and confining waste, especially non-usable waste, in a definitive manner, in places specially selected and designed to avoid contamination and damage or risks to human health and the environment.
Collection: Includes not only the collection of solid waste and recyclable materials, but also the transportation of these materials to the place or container that the company must have.
Recycling: This is the process by which the recovered waste is used and transformed and the materials are given back their potential for reincorporation as raw materials or inputs for the manufacture of new products. Recycling may consist of several stages: clean technology processes, industrial reconversion, separation, selective collection, stockpiling, reuse, transformation and commercialization.
Recyclable material: Material that is used in all areas of the company and that can be reprocessed into a raw material that can be used again. For example: paper, glass and cans.
Non-recyclable material: Material that does not meet the characteristics of recyclable material, i.e., even if it is treated it cannot be used again, for example: toilet paper, paper towels.
Organic material will be all those coming from edible waste.
Inorganic material: waste obtained from inorganic material, i.e. not easily degradable.
Storage: The action of temporarily placing solid waste in containers, deposits, reusable or disposable containers while it is being processed for use, transformation, commercialization or collection service for treatment.
Utilization: The process by which, through integrated waste management, recovered materials are efficiently reincorporated into the economic and productive cycle through reuse, recycling, incineration or another modality that entails health, environmental and/or economic benefits.
Reuse: It is the extension and adaptation of the useful life of the recovered waste and that by means of processes, operations or techniques return to the materials their possibility of use in their original function or in some related one, without requiring additional transformation processes.
Treatment: The set of operations, processes or techniques by which the characteristics of the waste are modified to increase its reusability or to minimize environmental impacts and risks to human health.
Hazardous waste: Waste that due to its infectious, toxic, explosive, corrosive, flammable, volatile, combustible, radioactive or reactive characteristics may cause risk to human health or deteriorate environmental quality to levels that cause risk to human health. Hazardous wastes are also those that are not hazardous in their original form but are transformed by natural processes into hazardous wastes. Likewise, containers, packaging and wrappings that have been in contact with them are considered hazardous waste.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
It is based on minimizing waste generation, separation at the source, avoiding cross-contamination, recovery of all usable solid waste, safe handling of hazardous waste, and adequate transportation and storage to the collection site or the facility’s collection center and to final disposal or recycling sites outside the plant’s facilities.
In order to establish an integrated solid waste management plan, the following aspects, among others, should be considered:
Current regulations are available for consultation in the Environmental Legal Requirements Matrix and are monitored and updated by the IMS Coordinator.
Evidence of compliance with applicable legislation is kept up to date in the Legal Matrix.
The following aspects, among others, are considered for the integrated management of hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste in the company:
Classification, Characterization, Identification and Quantification
There is a general classification matrix for the classification, characterization, identification and quantification of the generated WEEE, taking into account their origin, process and final disposal.
Training and awareness-raising program.
During internal audits, the training and competencies of the personnel in charge of solid waste management will be verified.
Collection points and collection routes.
The company establishes the locations of solid waste separation points, collection centers, and other places where waste is stored for each area of the company. This table must be updated and must include information on who reviewed and approved it, among other aspects.
The company controls that the storage of waste at the separation points should be as minimal as possible to avoid the generation of offensive odors and the attraction of rodents and other pests.
It determines the appropriate place for the storage, washing, cleaning and disinfection of containers, collection vehicles and other implements used, as well as the frequency with which they are washed, including the collection center.
Drainage from this place must lead to sewage networks or internal networks that lead to the treatment plant, where applicable. In any case, it should not lead to rainwater networks or bodies of water.
Containers that contain hazardous waste and have had direct contact with the stored substances will be cleaned with appropriate materials and disposed of as hazardous waste, considering the health and safety measures and guidelines defined in the substances’ Safety Data Sheets.
When there are small quantities of hazardous waste, without risk of cross-contamination between them, they are disposed of in the red bins located in the areas where they are generated.
Colors and signage of containers and separation points.
The containers must be made of resistant materials such as high-strength plastics or metal, which do not deteriorate easily, whose design and capacity facilitate the storage and handling process. They shall be:
The hazardous waste symbol will only be used when the waste has the characteristics established in MMADT Decree 4741 of 2005: corrosive, reactive, explosive, combustible, toxic, flammable, volatile, infectious, radioactive.
The signage of the segregation zones allows the area to be visible from any point within the area it covers and has the following characteristics:
In addition to the above characteristics, it is recommended to implement the following signage to facilitate proper separation:
The following is a model guide of information for the correct classification of waste and for the control of waste generated in each area.

Defines the measures to be taken with respect to solid waste management in emergency situations due to events such as earthquakes, fires, problems with the public waste collection service, suspension of activities of companies that remove or purchase waste, public disturbances, and accidents, among others.
The emergency preparedness and response protocols include a chapter defining the management of waste generated in the event of an emergency and its risk control mechanisms. These environmental aspects and impacts are analyzed in the hazard and risk overview documented at each plant by applying the corresponding procedure,
Monitoring and Follow-up System.
In addition to internal audits, the company will conduct monthly monitoring of management indicators in areas such as generation, use, and/or personnel training. Based on these indicators, goals are set and performance is evaluated. The SMS Leader evaluates performance through the indicators of % of utilization according to the following classification:
Waste Management indicators should be part of the visual measurement for workers.
On a monthly basis, the SGS Leader, fills out the waste report and reports it when required to the Manager Based on this information, follow-up on the management performed is carried out.
TREATMENT AND FINAL DISPOSAL SYSTEM
Treatment or final disposal will be in accordance with local infrastructure and current legislation.
The final disposal of waste generated in the company is as follows:
HAZARDOUS / SPECIAL WASTE
A waste is hazardous when it has at least one of the following characteristics: corrosive, reactive, explosive, combustible, toxic, flammable, volatile, infectious, radioactive.
In case of doubt, a waste will be categorized according to the above classification based on certified laboratory analysis.
Listed below are some of the hazardous wastes found in our facilities.
Note: Any container, packaging, packing or material that has been in direct contact with any hazardous substance must be handled and disposed of as hazardous waste and is therefore considered as such.
In the transportation of hazardous waste, compliance with Decree 1609 of 2002 on the transportation of hazardous goods by third parties in charge must always be verified.
.
Management supports.
The following documents should be kept as support for the waste management carried out, being of much greater relevance those related to hazardous waste.
Certificate(s) from the company(ies) collecting the waste to be used, treated or disposed of, along with a copy of the environmental permits or licenses (authorizing the specific disposal of the hazardous waste and the list of waste authorized by the competent authority) of these companies, and the chamber of commerce certificate.
Departure consignment and/or weighing ticket from the company’s exit scale indicating the quantities of waste extracted.
Final Waste Disposal Certificates from the external waste manager (HAZARDOUS and NON HAZARDOUS) showing the quantity, treatment and final disposal of the waste.
In the case of final disposal or treatment of hazardous waste, the management supports must be kept for a minimum period of five (5) years.
For recyclable waste, records of material delivery shall be kept for one (1) year.
The Waste Control form must be filled out for each exit of the company’s waste.
COLLECTION CENTER
For the internal storage of waste there will be a site exclusively for this purpose,
The following are the characteristics that the collection center must have.
Located inside the facilities and without direct access from the outside.
Have spaces for each type of waste, according to its characteristics. The basic categorization is suggested: paper, cardboard, glass, metals, wood, plastics, hazardous waste, domestic waste, consistent with Table
The dimensions of the collection center should be determined according to the volume of waste generated and the frequency of collection.

To ensure proper separation of solid waste, bins and bags are used in accordance with the following code
FREQUENCY OF COLLECTION AND FINAL DISPOSAL
Within the company, each of the aforementioned areas has established a daily solid waste collection frequency to prevent the accumulation of solid waste and the contamination that can be generated.
All solid waste (organic, recyclable and non-recyclable) is collected daily by the sanitation personnel once the sections have been cleaned. The final disposal of these wastes is established as follows:
Recyclable solid waste is placed in a closed room for storage while it is collected by recycling personnel from around the company. They are taken twice a month.
Non-recyclable/ordinary waste (green bags) is collected daily inside the company and compacted before being taken to the garbage room.
Some waste, such as batteries containing hazardous waste such as cadmium, are deposited in a specific container for such waste.
POST-CONSUMER MANAGEMENT
Where possible, the hotel will have commercial relationships with suppliers that handle post-consumer management (lighting fixtures-chemical containers).
This requirement is limited due to the fact that the hotel is located on an island, and is limited to the conditions of local suppliers.
LIQUID WASTE MANAGEMENT
OBJECTIVE:
To adequately manage the collection and disposal of liquid waste generated daily in the Company in order to protect the environment and avoid contamination of the city’s water supply networks.
Environmental Authority: Responsible for the surveillance, recovery, conservation, protection, regulation, management, use, exploitation and control of renewable natural waste and the environment.
Load: The product of the average concentration by the average flow determined at the same site; it is expressed in kilograms per day (kg/d).

Prevention and management of contagion risk situations.
To prevent COVID-19 infection, it is necessary to know the company’s organization, production process, tasks, procedures, work equipment, exposure time (working days or shifts), worker characteristics (health status, age, sex). This information makes it possible to identify the characteristics prone to exposure to contagion in the workplace.
The company must provide mechanisms to prevent the dissemination or indirect transmission of viruses through contaminated elements (work surfaces, machines or work equipment, personal protective equipment, work clothes supplied by the employer or contractor, water, food, biological products, blood). And ensure strategies that limit direct transmission through contact.
Within the framework of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, the health conditions of workers must be identified (health status, habits and lifestyle, risk factors associated with susceptibility to contagion), as well as the conditions of the work sites through periodic inspection visits.
Surveillance of workers’ health in the context of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System SG-SST.
All workers must comply with the hand-washing protocol before entering the facilities or starting work and during the workday, at least every 3 hours and at the end of the workday.
All persons entering the hotel must undergo a daily health and temperature monitoring procedure, using a laser or digital thermometer (which must be cleaned and disinfected after each use), taking the reading at the entrance and exit of each worker’s shift, with the appropriate nominal record.
This measure also applies to personnel working at home or remotely, who must report their health status and temperature readings by e-mail or telephone to their immediate supervisor or occupational health and safety area, according to the company’s organizational structure.
