COVID-19 Coronavirus Protocol

Risk Management

Laboratory Systems Group will identify if there is a risk to the health of all employees by determining exposure to COVID-19 at their workplace, we will do this by:

• Monitoring expert advice by Australian Government bodies.
• Review infection control policies, procedures and practices.
• Educate all employees on new information with regular Email updates and staff meetings.
• Restrict all non-essential travel and meetings

Control Measures

Laboratory Systems Group will eliminate or minimise risks. The type of control measures required depends on the level of risk:-

• Provide products to allow employees to maintain good hygiene practices.
• Advising any employees to self-isolate at home for 14 days if:-
  • In the last 14 days if they have been in any foreign countries listed by the Department of Health & Human Services.
  • They have been in contact with confirmed cases of COVID-19
  • If the employee is experiencing flu-like symptoms regardless if they have travelled overseas or had close contact with a confirmed case, the employee must NOT attend work and seek medical advice.

If an employee thinks they may be at risk of infection of carrying COVID-19

• The employee must raise this with their Manager immediately.
• Laboratory Systems Group will ask the employee to seek medical clearance.
• If the employee/s are not fit for work due to contracting the COVID-19 they should remain isolated for 14 days.
