[UPDATED] Victorian COVID-19 Management Plan & Documentation (Version 8)

Dear All,

On the 16th October Version 08 of the COVID-19 Industry Guideline was released (Guideline attached including the note on changes made).

I have attached our updated Management plan and attached copies of the following appendices that have changed which will need to be reviewed and completed as required:

• Appendix 02 – Site Compliance Checklist also known as the High Risk COVID Management Plan
• Daily Prestart template with updated declaration. (For those using a sign in device, I have also amended this)
• COVID Management plan – Section 6 item 10. You must include the name of the cleaning business and contact number you have nominated should there be a positive case on your project.

One change that is Industry specific that is worth highlighting can be found under section 5.1 Fit For Screening please see below:

• Initial declaration is to be conducted by all workers (this includes any person who attends site), including current and new starters. Each worker must provide a declaration that they to the best of their knowledge:

• have not been diagnosed with coronavirus (COVID-19) in the last 14 days, or
• are not in a period of 14-day quarantine as directed by a health professional, or
• have not been overseas in the last 14 days, or
• have not been in contact with anyone who has coronavirus (COVID-19), or
• have not been in contact with anyone who is currently being tested for coronavirus (COVID-19), or
• do not have anyone in their household who has symptoms consistent with COVID-19

• If a worker declares any of the above, they will not be granted access to site and will be required to produce evidence of a negative COVID-19 test within the last 5 days, prior to commencing work.

• Once the initial declaration has been made by the worker, ongoing screening (phase 2) should be conducted for every worker prior to the start of their shift, asking to the best of their knowledge:

• have they been overseas in the last 14 days,
• have they been in contact with anyone who has coronavirus (COVID-19),
• have they been in contact with anyone who is currently being tested for coronavirus (COVID-19),
• do they have anyone in their household who has symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or works in a high-risk industry
• have they been directed to self-isolate for a 14-day period? (in which case, they must not be permitted to work)

• If a worker declares any of the above, they will not be granted access to site and will be required to produce evidence of a negative COVID-19 test within the last 5 days, prior to commencing work.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or if I can be of assistance to you.
