Resources and guidance on how to complete a COVID-19 Safety Plan for your food processing business.
COVID-19 Safety Plans and COVID Safe registration
Having a COVID-19 Safety Plan in place will help minimise risk of transmission of COVID-19 on your premises.
Food processing and manufacturing businesses should also consider the benefits of registering as COVID Safe.
Complete the plan in consultation with your workers, then share it with them.
Keep your plan up to date
You may need to update the plan in the future, as restrictions and advice changes.
Your COVID-19 Safety Plan
You can either:
- use the provided COVID-19 Safety Plan to address the checklist of matters for food processing
- keep using your existing plan, if you have one, after making sure it includes all the items in the provided COVID-19 Safety Plan.
Register as a COVID Safe business
If you've completed your COVID-19 Safety Plan, you can register your business as COVID Safe.
