Hi all,
Worksafe are now contacting Health Care Facilities for information regarding assessments and actions taken following a workplace COVID-19 exposure. To date communications in our hospital have been verbal between the OH&S team and the Worksafe Officer. However, it would be better to stream line the IC assessment/actions taken to be reported back to Worksafe. Has anyone already developed a template to provide information to Worksafe? If yes could you please share of line?Kind regards,
John Greenough

Hello
Its my understanding that a ‘COVID-19 Safety PLAN’ will be sent out from WHS State body.
It will mention minimum requirements, which will serve as guide to what their expectations are, which from what I can see one should/would be doing anyway as a minimum.
Most likely you will have most of this in place in any case.
Content is around cleaning practices, supply and equipment, Hygiene, entry restriction to facility, screening processes, quarantine processes, physical distancing, education and training, risk management, HSR consultation, Incident response, and processes around reviewing and adjusting controls as circumstances change..Hope this is of assistance
