COVID-19 Pandemic – How does Business Remain Their Workplace Safely

In times of adversity, an organisation’s long-term credibility is defined by what they do and how they act. Recent research indicates that people’s trust in organisations during a crisis is defined by the level of care and empathy we demonstrate.

To comply with the model WHS laws, you must identify risks at the workplace, and do what is reasonably practicable to eliminate those risks, or where this is not reasonably practicable, to minimise those risks.

Whether a control measure is reasonably practicable to implement involves considering what can be done to control a risk and whether it is reasonable in the circumstances to do so. Key considerations in determining what measures are reasonable include:

the likelihood of the risk occurring
the degree of harm that might result
the availability and suitability of a control measure

The likelihood of the risk occurring, the degree of harm that might result and the availability and suitability of a control measure are key considerations in determining what measures are reasonable.
