Colmed Group’s onsite COVID Marshal service
A Colmed COVID Marshal plays an important role in making sure workplaces and events are COVIDSafe at all times, protecting workers, punters and members of the community.
COVID Marshals will monitor a site’s compliance with their COVIDSafe Plan and any additional industry- specific obligations that may be in place, thereby playing a vital role in ensuring everyone is following COVIDSafe principles in order to keep the site safe. Colmed’s COVID Marshals will look for ways to continually improve current COVIDSafe Plans, including hygiene & cleaning requirements, entry screening, personal protective equipment (PPE), physical distancing and other industry-specific obligations.
