OHS & Employment Law in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Understanding Management, HR & Safety’s New Role.
The health and safety of workers is a top concern during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Everybody has the coronavirus on their minds. But no one else is thinking about the COVID-19 pandemic quite like safety and HR professionals, because, ultimately, you they have to figure out how to prevent the spread of the coronavirus among workers on job sites.
Current statistics in the US show us inching towards an average of 100k new infections every day.
What does that mean for businesses?
- Changing work environments and procedures
- Volatility in production demands and supply
- Increased pressure from off-the-job safety concerns
- Fewer resources for emergency response

And employees aren’t being shy about filing legal claims, especially when so many are unemployed and have little to lose (and a lot to gain) by pursuing litigation.
