SafetyNet 561

Welcome to the December 9, 2020 edition SafetyNet.

This has been a very good month for Victoria in terms of coronavirus. We have had 39 days of zero new cases, and can look forward to a happy holiday season. Talking of 'holidays', this is the second last edition of SafetyNet for the year. Next week will be the last. Keep an eye out in February for the first edition for 2021.

If you have any questions or need any advice, we can be reached via the Ask Renata facility on the website or through the closed OHS Network Facebook page.
