Hi guys, got an email from our body corporate manager asking us to prepare a covid safe plan for our small lot of 3 units of townhouses in Victoria. Anyone doing the same?
We will need to sign in guests, have hand sanitizer stations, site inspections, sign in all contractors to make sure all complies or else we will be up for a big fine. Is this over the top or just me? $450 to fully complied with the law if a professional does it for us.
These are the requirements for the plan.
Checks response notes
1 Are hand sanitising station in place Yes
2 Does work order note COVID conditions of engagement
3 Is a contractor registration in place & includes COVID work safe practices
4 Has cleaning regime been upgraded or assessed as adequate
5 Has property erected signs addressing distancing, hygiene, residents, visitors and contractors etc as per government DHHS guidelines(see links)?
6 Is there floor or similar markings in common areas including lifts alerting distancing required
7 All seating removed or taped off Yes
8 Perspex screens erected as required? Yes
9 Is there a process in place to restrict & control work and deliveries
10 Has the property a plan to work with DHSS( in CSP)
11 Is there a contactless attendance registration for contractors, deliveries and visitors?
12 Has all health guidelines been distributed to all staff and contractors?
13 Has the property consulted(asked) staff and contractors for their feed back re hazard identification, subsequent controls or perceived shortfalls?
14 Has a COVID response officer been assigned?
15 Has the property advised their Air Conditioning/air controls contractor to fully maintain fresh air flows by fan, duct and grill cleans?
16 Has the Appendix 2 Staff Covid 19 health questionnaire been adopted as entry protocol by the on site building manager?
17 Has a copy of Mutli-dwelling properties with Shared Facilities (dated 18 July 2020) been issued to on site management team And staff has signed as read, understood and implemented?
Thanks.
I would ring up the Vic government covid line and ask if this is required as it sounds like a total overkill and if it was required should already have been done. I'm in NSW in a block of 50 units and there is NO covid plan and none of the items on the list are required.
