Covid 19 Returning to Work for Employers

The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is the most serious global health security threat in decades. More than 200,000 cases of COVID-19 have been reported worldwide. This is an awareness level training designed to inform workers about how to protect themselves and co-workers from exposure to the covid-19 virus. The goal is to increase health and safety awareness for responders and workers with potential exposure to covid-19. This class will also cover ICRA (infection control risk assessments). ICRA is a process used to identify and mitigate potential hazards in high risk environments.
