COVID has rattled our personal and professional lives for the past two years. As we emerge out of lockdown returning to our workplaces, it has become even more imperative that we ensure employees are safe.
Join us for an interactive session where we hear from experts in the field, with opportunities to dive deeper and ask questions. We will first hear from Leanne Treadwell who will reflect on lessons learnt developing plans to return to work during COVID and the role of risk management and systems thinking. Followed by Jane Whitelaw who will present a range of controls for COVID-19 that you can apply in your workplace.
