(3) Workers can report any concerns to Access Canberra via the on-line enquiry form or by calling 132281, or via email to worksafe@act.gov.au. For generic advice on COVID-19, people are directed to www.COVID19.act.gov.au or the COVID-19 Helpline (02) 6207 7244, which is available from 8am to 8pm every day.
(4) WorkSafe ACT and the ACT Government continue to look for ways in which information and advice can be enhanced when it comes to COVID-19. The retail sector has been proactive in providing information to both customers and staff on safety measures when it comes to personal hygiene. This includes signage and information in most shopping centres and precincts, as well as providing measures such as hand sanitiser on entry to many stores. In addition, employers are working to support the safety of their staff by introducing measures which are appropriate to the risks their workplaces may present, such as the installation of barrier screens, changing practices such as the bagging of groceries and implementing of card only payments. This will continue to be monitored, and if additional advice needs to be provided, it will be considered as part of the government’s response to COVID-19.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
I do not approve the considerable diversion of public sector resources needed to respond to this question during the COVID-19 Health Emergency. Some of this information is already publicly available at a high level in CMTEDD annual reports, the State of the Service report and on the Contracts Register.
