Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Amendment) Bill 2020: Discussion
Dr. Sharon McGuinness:
They would because on the CIDR database, for example, which is sent weekly, we know from that information the exact workplace, the location and the number of cases, so we have that information to hand. If it is an outbreak, very often in meat plants we will be involved in the outbreak control team set up by the departments of public health to support them in the management of the outbreak. In addition, as part of the national standing oversight committee, we get the list every week of all the outbreaks in meat plants, construction sites and other high-risk sectors.
