H1N1 and business continuity in the event of a pandemic are very hot topics at the moment.  Many of our customers have been using the Safety Bulletin feature within SafetySync to remind employees of sick leave policies, hand washing protocols and various other best practices that can help prevent the spread of diseases within your organizations.  You may want to supplement these bulletins and policies with some training.

We've recently produced a lesson within the Emergency Preparedness and Response course called "Pandemics".  This course summarizes a lot of the information being distributed by CDC in the United States and by Health Canada.  Topics include:
                          What is a Pandemic?
                          Preparing for Pandemics
                          Signs of the Flu and H1N1
                          What to Do if You Become Sick
                          Preventing the Spread of Viruses
                          Business Continuity Planning

Offering this 13 minute lesson to your employees might just keep a few people from becoming sick, and missing a significant amount of work.  We also have a great video produced by the Center for Disease Control on "Infections and Hand Washing" in the "Health and Wellness" course.

Stay healthy everyone!
