Coronavirus: Online tool will help businesses reopen safely
Businesses preparing to reopen in coming months now have an online planning tool to help them set up a coronavirus-safe workplace.
Businesses preparing to reopen in coming months now have an online planning tool to help them set up a coronavirus-safe workplace.
The National COVID-19 Co-ordination Commission on Monday launched its 30-minute planning tutorial, which will guide business owners through social distancing and hygiene regulations. NCCC chairman Nev Power said the tool and the COVIDSafe tracing app would both help businesses get back to work after weeks of lockdown.
“The tool brings together information from across government on the range of help and assistance available to support businesses,” Mr Power said.
“This tool complements the Safe Work Australia online hub, which remains the definitive source of information for businesses to understand their work health and safety obligations.
“We need businesses everywhere to get behind the safety protocols and have their COVIDSafe plans in place.
“One of the key things will be to maintain our discipline around physical distancing and hygiene. Our success depends on everyone — business owners, workers, customers — keeping up our practices of handwashing, social distancing, covering our sneezes and coughs, staying home if you are unwell, getting tested if you have symptoms and downloading the COVIDSafe app.”
The tool can be downloaded from the NCCC website.
