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?
- Practicing physical distancing.
- Wear a face mask.
- Practice good hygiene.
- Keep records and act quickly if workers become unwell.
- Avoid interactions in enclosed spaces.
- 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.
