Dear Picture Framer,

Craven and Associates is delighted to be a referral partner and to introduce you to an outstanding INTERACTIVE Training Program delivered in partnership from DeakinCo., part of Deakin University, and the Australian Industry Group (Ai Group).

Developed by health professionals and industry experts, the 50-minute online interactive training program has been designed to provide Australian businesses with a tangible pathway that will assist them to return safely to work.

The Training Programme provides the Picture Framing Industry with a highly credible way to demonstrate their commitment to the safety and wellbeing of their employees, customers, clients and the wider community.

By completing the training, Picture Framers are able to demonstrate that they are doing everything they can to reduce the risk of transmission and that their staff are trained in safe working practices to limit the spread of infectious diseases such as the coronavirus.

For Picture Framers and their employees who complete the training, they will be provided with a DeakinCo. certificate and the option to purchase a wearable badge containing a QR code that can be scanned at any time.  This will allow customers and suppliers to check that employees have completed the most up-to-date modules and observing safe covid free practices.

The project team behind the program includes Deakin Medical School Associate Professor, and former WHO professional, Dr Sandeep Reddy; and Dr Neil Cowen with 40+ years’ experience in health service management, public health and immunology.

The Occupational COVID-19 Workplace Training Scheme offers:

• 50 minute online training program consistent with the advice from WHO and Australia Health Protection Principal Committee
• Workplace Ready and Business participation certificates
• Embedded QR Technology and digital verification
• Professionally hardcopy printed badge lanyard (additional fee)
• Management dashboard and reporting
• Ongoing commitment to update our program in line with Safe Work Australia’s recommendations

Through the training program participants will learn:

• What COVID-19 is, its incubation period and symptoms, and how it is spread
• Behavioural management techniques in the workplace
• Good handwashing and hygiene practices
• Managing mental health during COVID-19

Then follow the pathway accordingly to set up your organisation.  The process is straight-forward and after payment you will access your company dashboard where you can print off your tax invoice and the training seat codes to commence employee training.  You are able to add additional employees to the Training Program at later dates

A safe business is an operational business!!!!

I believe this is simply the best training program available aimed squarely at the employee and dovetails nicely into an organisation’s Covid-19 responsibilities.

It is engaging, interactive, immersive and best practice. The Picture Framing Industry will be able to train and educate their employees in respect of their obligations and be acceptable and put into practice their understanding and responsibilities.

Upon completion and participating in this Training program, Picture Framers will be able to market that their employees are trained and the business observes safe COVID practices.  Further Picture Framers are able to display at their premises and website a certificate to that effect.

I encourage all Picture Framers to undertake the Occupational Covid-19 Training Program!
