In this course, the objective is to provide accurate information relating to COVID-19 and simple steps that businesses can take to avoid spreading the disease within the workplace. This interactive web-based training will provide opportunities for attendees to engage in informative Q&As. 

“This is a great training for businesses who are unsure of the current standards and who want to prepare their plan for reopening their business,” said Lynn Oswald, director of the NCCC SBDC.  

NCCC noted the instructor is a safety-certified trainer who is up-to-date on regulatory changes issued by the Center for Disease Control, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and New York state.
