Pandemic Preparation, Response and Recovery

Employers must consult with workers and provide information, instruction and training.

The business must also coordinate and communicate with other businesses which may be effected by any business change.

Key messages

• COVID-19 infection process and personal hygiene requirements
• Consult with workers to undertake risk assessments and determine suitable infection control actions
• Advise workers and supply chain of proposed actions and timeframes
• Advise workers of support available to assist with planning for moving to response phase

Communicating these messages

• Display posters promoting hand washing and respiratory hygiene, symptoms and when to stay home
• Regular meetings including safety meetings (committee/ toolbox talks), management meetings and supply chain updates
• Update risk register with infection control risks and actions
• Provide internal phone and email contacts for further information on the Plan
