The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has transformed the way that the world functions.Health issues and population safety have driven countries' economies to acritical state; therefore, sustaining economic activity while keeping workerssafe has become a worldwide goal. In this paper, we present a novel safetyprotocol based on rapid antibody testing (ABT). Using discrete eventsimulation, we evaluated its performance on the cumulative number of infectedworkers, effective reproductive number ($R_e$), and active work force within acompany. Using a synthetic experiment, we showed that ABT twice a week (ABT 3)performed the best, detecting 5.7% of infected workers, compared to 16.9% whenno ABT was applied. $R_e$ was reduced from 1.75 to 0.84, with a slight decreasein the active workers within the firm. A sensitivity analysis on the durationof the shedding period and sensitivity of ABT was performed and led to the samequalitative conclusions. We applied this protocol in a Chilean winery: theestimation of the initial $R_e$ of 1.3 was reduced to 0.7 when the ABT 3protocol was implemented, with a 27% decrease in the number of infectedworkers. Although ABT is not approved for COVID-19 diagnosis, our study showsthat upgraded safety standards can already be implemented in workspaces.
