COVID-19 has presented a series of challenges to our health, safety and business continuity. Whilst many of the recommendations for combatting this novel coronavirus are still being debated, the principles underpinning good workplace hygiene will still mitigate much of the risk, and provide a framework for managing this outbreak, and future pandemics. As businesses begin to reopen, particularly experience based businesses with a reliance on customer interactions, the adoption of infection prevention and control strategies will become the new normal for the foreseeable future. These strategies in many cases could be adopted without significant disruption and discussion and case studies will be provided.

This webinar will cover what we know about COVID-19, how long it persists in the environment, transmission, PPE, and disinfection, and will touch on wider principles which can be used to rapidly respond to future emergency situations.

Examples of best practice being employed in companies across Australia in a variety of industries will also be shared.
