Infection Control in the workplace – COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
Managing infection control in the workplace.
As the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) health pandemic continues to evolve, it’s important businesses implement a continuous review of workplace health and safety practices and procedures including reviewing risk assessments, and implementing appropriate Infection Control Measures to minimise or eliminate risk for employees, customers and the business.
The Risk environment will also continue to evolve and change as a result of the changing status of the virus, as well as Australian Government announcements and Health Department advice.
We have prepared several resources for managing Infection Control in the Workplace. We can also work with you and your business to develop operation-specific advice, tools and resources. Below are several resources.
