By now most of us will be familiar with the Victorian Government’s ‘roadmaps for reopening’ for how we live and work in both metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. The roadmap guidelines provide long-term plans for our path out of restrictions and into COVID Normal.
The Victorian Government has now developed a COVIDSafe Plan Template to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the workplace. Every Victorian business that is open for on-site operations must have a COVIDSafe Plan. To ensure compliance, random spot checks are already underway in metropolitan Melbourne and will commence in regional Victoria from 29 September 2020.
