General process 
 

1. Businesses must have a COVIDSafe Plan

The COVID Safe Plan has been developed to support businesses with maintaining COVID Safe workplaces and ensure they know what to do if they have a confirmed case of COVID-19.

What is included in the COVIDSafe Plan?

  1. Practicing physical distancing.
  2. Wear a face mask.
  3. Practice good hygiene.
  4. Keep records and act quickly if workers become unwell.
  5. Avoid interactions in enclosed spaces.
  6. Create workforce bubbles.

Displaying the COVIDSafe Plan

A COVID Safe Plan should be printed, completed, and kept on-site at the workplace where it is easy to find.

To support the community to having a covid safe plan, covid safe officers may be attending your workplace to view and support you in creating your COVIDSafe plans.
