The National Vaccine roll out is now well under way. While most Healthcare Professionals have been vaccinated, not all Health Care Workers (HCWs) have been vaccinated. The attached Circular sets out the process for registering and verifying a broad spectrum of HCWs. Please note, employers are obliged to supply consolidated lists of frontline HCWs who do not have a Persal Number or a Professional Council Registration Number.

The National Institute for Occupational Health (NIOH) would like to thank you for registering and attending the webinar on Working from Home – OHS Policy and Reasonable Accommodation During COVID-19.  Please find links to this webinar’s presentations and recordings for your information and reference.

The recording of the Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) Webinar that was held on 03 June 2021, is now available.
