The American Red Cross urges businesses and community to prepare against swine flu:
The recent documented cases of swine flu in several states across the U.S. and in a growing number of other countries may cause many people to wonder what they can do to better protect themselves right now.
As health experts around the world seek to better understand the scope and severity of the swine flu outbreak, this is a good time for individuals, families, businesses and organizations to review and update their emergency preparedness plans.
Offer Flu Preparedness Education in your workplace
The American Red Cross, Broward County and Greater Miami & The Keys Chapters is offering free flu preparedness education as part of an OSHA-sponsored workplace education pilot. The Red Cross will provide a free educational seminar to employees to help your business and our community prepare for flu outbreaks.
In return for the presentation, the Red Cross asks participating workplaces to commit to:
· Assessing employee and workplace knowledge and awareness of Pandemic Flu and its effects
· Administering evaluation surveys on the day of the training event
· Participating in on-site workplace inspections and interviews
To request a workplace flu presentation, please call 866.797.7990 or via email at RuffinC@usa.redcross.org
