Course Description
The health and safety of all workers should be a priority for employers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, whether they are working onsite, at home, or plan on returning to work. Workplaces in Canada must take every precaution reasonable to protect their employees from the transmission of COVID-19, and can do so with workplace risk assessment and safety plans, which outline the steps to reduce exposure; procedures to monitor exposure and health; and what to do if anyone reports or shows signs or symptoms of infection.
