Risk
Assesment

In order to accurately answer the questions in the risk assessment and mitigation checklist, those responsible must be knowledgeable on the current COVID-19 outbreak. They should reference the daily, local, provincial and global COVID-19 situation reports provided by WHO, Public Health Canada and provincial and municipal authorities.
It must be ensured that this risk assessment is conducted with input from local public health authorities and training facility landlords, and the necessary personnel with expertise in risk management, epidemiology and infectious disease control measures are included from the initial stage of planning.
