The Mosquito-Borne Disease Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed to help businesses manage the risks associated with mosquito-borne diseases. It provides a structured approach to maintaining workplace safety by outlining precautions and control measures.
It covers the hazard and its health effects, common mosquito-borne viruses in Australia, vaccinations, worker training, personal protective measures, symptoms and the controls that reduce mosquito breeding sites and exposure.
An employee training and induction register tracks training completion so workers are informed and prepared.
