In partnership with the Victorian Government, the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is establishing a new COVIDSafe Squad to help businesses to be COVIDSafe.
Participation in this business health and safety initiative will be voluntary and available for business of all sizes and industries to participate. It is not limited to Victorian Chamber members.
Mobile teams of expert COVIDSafe advisers will attend workplaces, ask a series of questions about key COVIDSafe topics, and share practical feedback and strategies for them to achieve and maintain COVIDSafe status. Areas that may be considered include a COVIDSafe plan, the check-in system and physical distancing arrangements. The COVIDSafe Squad will share their observations with the business and make any recommendations necessary to assist them with achieving compliance. There are no penalties issued for businesses that are found to need assistance.
All information collected will remain confidential and de-identified data will be shared with the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions to report how different businesses across Local Government Areas are tracking in COVIDSafe practises.
The program is running now and will conclude on 30 June, 2022. F
