The United States (US) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sources, and Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were reviewed comprehensively to identify transmission methods, protection methods and risk factors. “Anticipate, Recognize, Evaluate, Control, Confirm (ARECC)”, an industrial hygiene decision making method, was used to manage the risk of pathogens in workplaces and hierarchy of hazard control method by the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) was implemented to determine measures. This study identifies hazards, assesses risks, and suggests control measures in changing pandemic conditions with a systematic approach, and presents the suitable ways minimizing the risk to prevent new waves for the pandemics.
