Over this last week we hope we have supported and helped you understand just what Stage 4 restrictions mean to you and your business. Information and practical solutions regarding COVID Safe plans, COVID SWMS and Permitted Worker Permits was provided to all of our users, and to the best of our knowledge, this remains current.

The Victorian State Government has just provided some much needed clarification surrounding the Stage 4 Restrictions for Permitted Workers which may come as a slight relief for the many construction businesses that feared they would have to shut up shop over the next 6 weeks. From 11:59pm on Friday the 7th of August, the following restrictions will be enforced.

Following further updates from the government today, Trak has been working hard to offer solutions for all our businesses in Victoria that will be impacted by the Stage 4 Lockdown restrictions. Earlier this morning, we wrote to all users about the Permitted Worker Permit document.

We understand that the introduction of Stage 4 Restrictions in Melbourne has lead to much confusion.

On the 1st of July, 2020, Victoria’s new workplace manslaughter offences were brought into effect. This legislation has been introduced to strengthen workplace OH&S practices and minimise the number of workplace deaths that occur across the state.
