With the recent increase in COVID-19 case numbers, persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) must protect the health and safety of their workers and eliminate or minimise the risk of exposure to COVID-19 as much as reasonably practicable.
Our website has detailed information for workplaces, including small businesses, about control measures that can be used to minimise the risks from COVID-19, including ensuring workers do not come to work when unwell, encouraging vaccination, wearing masks, practising physical distancing, improving indoor ventilation and practising good hygiene.
We also have information about how to do a risk assessment and specific information about work health and safety (WHS) and COVID-19 for your industry (choose your industry from the drop down list).
Review the WHS and COVID-19 information on our website.
