One of the initial reactions witnessed by those countries directly effected by SARS was the widespread panic and fear of the public, particularly the public's fear of the public itself.
This fear was brought about by ignorance, ignorance of what they were dealing with and ignorance of what to do to minimise the chance of infection and spread.
SARS caught the world by surprise. The public were not prepared, despite warnings of a looming pandemic, even though that pandemic was not expected to be SARS. Many individuals did not leave their apartments for months for fear of contracting SARS and then bringing it back home to infect their family and loved ones.
The media fuelled the frenzy (as they were caught in the frenzy themselves), Governments advised people to not travel, people stayed at home and business came to a grinding halt.
When we consider that on a global scale, less than 900 people died of SARS, there is no reason to doubt that when Bird Flu strikes, the situation will be much much worse.
The lesson learned was the importance of staff training and education. Your business continuity and staff awareness/education are one of the same. Of all the contingency preparations you make ahead of Bird Flu, staff training and education will be the most important one.
By reading this statement you are now responsible to ensure that you, your staff and those you care about receive the training and education they need to understand Bird Flu. Ignorance and panic are our worst enemies. Know Bird Flu, know its weaknesses. Learn how to stop it.
Schedule all of your staff for at least a half-day Bird Flu staff training session. Limit staff training sessions to approximately 50 persons a time.Keep detailed training records of who has received staff training, what type and when. This will assist with refresher training and for identifying new staff joiners who have not received training.
No equipment is necessary to hold the staff training, however access to a projector and sound equipment is encouraged for effective delivery.
Read about and understand Pandemic Influenza.You should refer to the pages we have put together for you on Pandemic Influenza FAQ and Bird Flu FAQ.
- These documents provide a short introduction to Pandemic Flu and in particular, Bird Flu (H5N1), some facts and figures and generally information everyone should know.
- However they do not contain the details and recommendations only communicable through staff training.
- Send a copy of each to each employee in your organisation together with an accompanying request that they read and digest its contents.
Know the differences between Bird Flu and the Common Cold.See the manual sections: Influenza and the Common Cold Differences Fact Sheet as well as our Influenza Screening Flowchart.
- You will save a lot of time, fear and money by minimising any 'false alarms' by panicked employees who think they have Bird Flu when in fact they do not. Your absenteeism rates will be high enough as it is without staff staying at home unnecessarily.
Send a copy of the Influenza and the Common Cold Differences Fact Sheet to each employee in your organisation together with an accompanying request that they read and digest its contents.
Also, keep a copy handy yourself for a time when you may need to refresh yourself with its contents.
Learn how to make it difficult for the virus to spread.
Teach yourself, your staff and those you care about how to make it difficult for the virus to spread by practicing good personal hygiene and following cleanliness rules.
Learn how to protect yourself and your family.- Arm your family with the knowledge you have gained and implement some of the initiatives in this Manual designed for business continuity, into your home wherever you can.
Start making cleanliness a habit now.- Bad habits are hard to break, good habits are hard to make. Get yourself into a strict cleanliness regime in your daily routine right now. Start today. You won't want to risk overlooking something when the pandemic is around you.
Involve everyone in Bird Flu preparations. Ownership of your Bird Flu preparations belongs to everyone. Be open to discussion and don't cover up. Make sure your staff know what to say.Develop your company's 'line-to-take'. Should you have an outbreak at work anyone in the office could be targeted to make a statement. Ensure all staff from the most junior to the most senior know what to say. You can get some ideas on what lines-to-take in our Sickness Response Procedures section.
There are two areas of training you should ensure take place. 'Staff Training and Awareness' and 'Management Buy-in Training'. You won't get very far convincing the staff to take the pandemic threat seriously if you don't have support from their managers.
We strongly recommend you prepare at least your Staff Training and Awareness AND your Management Buy-in Training presentations now.
When the Pandemic Response Alert Phase is raised to 'Yellow Alert', you will just about have enough time to conduct your training sessions. You will not have enough time to write them first.
Alternatively, download our ready made, fully customizable, Staff Training and Management Buy-in Presentation Templates at our special 50% discount price of only US$13.95 and US$13.90 respectively, or US$23.50 for both. (Presentations come in MS. PowerPoint format with a PDF copy as well).
This discounted price won't last long so we encourage you to take advantage of this offer now.
