As a result of recent increases in COVID-19 cases in the province and growing concern over variant strains, WorkSafeNB is reminding employers of their obligations to follow Public Health measures to minimize exposure to COVID-19.
These include:
- Having a COVID-19 operational plan
- Training staff on how the plan applies to the workplace
- Watching for and adapting to revised Public Health requirements
- Reaching out to Public Health or WorkSafeNB for more information when needed
Go to Public Health for a full list of measures.
Both WorkSafeNB and the Province of New Brunswick have guides for developing and managing a COVID-19 operational plan.
