A local company that has been developing workplace training for two decades has created an online tool to help educate people on how to best protect against COVID-19.
Bluedrop Learning Performance, based out of St. John’s, helped develop the COVID-19 Worksafe Program, which was announced by Dr. Fitzgerald during the provincial update two Wednesdays ago.
It is a free 35-minute course and helps employers educate staff on how to protect themselves and their customers against the virus.
CEO Emad Rizkalla, says while many workplaces are doing their best to provide a safe environment, some employees don’t have the knowledge necessary to best protect themselves.
He tells a story about being at a restaurant recently which appeared to have all the right tools in place. But, when he quizzed the server, he found out she didn’t know basic information like how the virus is transmitted and how long it lives on certain services. He says this course can teach that information.
