Covid-19 Information 

IOH recognise the importance of social distancing during the current outbreak and we have assessed our face-to-face training for safety critical work. Due to the expected “extended response time” we have determined that the risk to participants is minor compared to risk to worker safety in not receiving this critical training in the most effective face-to-face manner. Our risk assessment considers that for most of the population the risk of severe symptoms is low if infected; however, there is a recognised “at-risk” population for more severe symptoms. If you have any concerns please feel free to contact us.

Our infection control policies continue to be in place to protect cross-infection; however, due to the risk to “at-risk” community, and burden all communicable disease can add to the health system IOH has implemented a strict no communicable disease policy for all our sites. Our staff with any cold or flu symptoms are required to work from home. We therefore apologise that a course may need to be cancelled, including at late notice, if the trainer becomes unavailable due to even mild illness. We also ask that any participant experiencing any symptom of cold or flu (or have close contacts who are exhibiting symptoms), or are requiring quarantine in relation to Covid-19, please contact our training team on 02 4210 7222 to discuss your course.

This policy may change as more information, guidance and restrictions come to light, so we thank you your understanding and for your consideration for fellow participants and our team.
