The last few days have seen the Federal and State Government announce new social distancing rules, and many businesses have ceased normal operations due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The situation is fluid and unfolding daily.

This pandemic has impacted small, medium and large enterprises who now have a whole new set of challenges to face. We understand these challenges at Simpatico Safety as we face the exact same questions…

How do we survive as a business for how ever long the outbreak lasts?

How do we plan and organise work for our staff?

Can they work from home?

These challenges and questions are real, and business decisions need to be made quickly.

Simpatico Safety Training and Consultancy are committed to assisting employers to engage their workers in meaningful activities during this period. If you have workers needing safety training, and they are able to do this from home, we can assist by providing affordable online learning in the virtual classroom.

We incorporate recordings of safety training sessions, use skype or zoom to communicate directly with students to enrich their learning experience, and provide phone and email support. We can customise training for your company (where possible) to make this a more meaningful experience.

Some of our short workshop courses available online include:

WHS for Managers and Supervisors (nationally accredited)

Understanding Due Diligence requirements for managers

Hazard Identification, risk assessment and risk control (nationally accredited)

Manual Handling for the aged and community care industry

Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator training customised for QLD legislation (nationally accredited)

As always, we thank you for your support and business. Rest assured that your health is our primary concern. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Stay well and be safe during this time.
