In order to further assist members, ADAVB asked Wentworth Human Resources to prepare advice concerning occupational health and safety obligations of employers and employees in relation to Human Swine Flu.

ADAVB suggests that a risk management plan be devised and activated. For more advice on OHS and Human Swine Flu, read this WorkSafe Victoria guide.
