Managing Health and Safety Training During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic
The corona virus is now spreading at a rapid rate. This means that appropriate COVID-19 staff awareness training in the workplace will play an important role in preventing the spread of this virus. Health and safety at workplace is concern for employers/businesses as well as employers.
Educating employees on the symptoms of the virus, how they can pre-emptively protect themselves and their colleagues, and what measures should be taken if they or a colleague have been exposed, is the first line of defense in fighting coronavirus (COVID-19).
The National Institutes of Health has provided important educational resources for coronavirus workers dealing with the spread of COVID-19. The worker-based training helps prevent and reduce exposure of workers who are at risk of coronavirus through their work duties.
The worker-based training program awards grants for training and development of educational resources for employees in high risk occupations who serve the public during emergencies and who need skills to protect their own health as they are potentially exposed to dangerous pathogens, contaminated materials, or infected people.
Coronavirus pandemic is likely to change the way we work.
