What should you know about Bird Flu and reducing risks of infection? |

Impact on corporations in the event of a bird flu pandemic |
Organisations and the global economy are expected to be hit hard in the event of a bird flu pandemic. CNN reported in October, 2005, that one quarter of the workforce would be expected to drop off. This could be considered a conservative estimate!
Organisations must protect their most valuable asset....their staff! Without staff, a company cannot function and cannot be sustained. Many organisations face ruin should the bird flu crisis erupt and continue for more than a few weeks. |

For companies to survive this threat, risk assessments must be performed now and action taken to prepare - once a pandemic erupts, it is too late to act! Resources worldwide, particularly protective wear such as masks and gloves, will be in such demand that access to product will be a major problem globally. Prices will skyrocket, as seen for masks during the recent SARS outbreak. |

The personal protective equipment (PPE) offered in CRG Healthcare's Bird Flu Kits will aid companies in reducing the risk to employees of infection with the H5N1 avian virus. If, for company survival, you cannot afford to have a majority of your staff absent, then providing PPE in the workplace is essential. PPE is only effective when used in conjunction with workplace training on basic hygiene practices. Such infection control training is complementary through CRG Healthcare when ordering bird flu kits (conditions apply). |

For under $2.50 per day per employee, organisations can help protect their most valuable assets - their employees! |
The World Health Organistion (WHO) has predicted that a bird flu pandemic may strike in 3 phases. The first phase is expected to last up to 90 days. With CRG Healthcare's Corporate Flu Kits at under $2.50 per person per day, begin stockpiling your protective equipment requirements to last this 90 day period. Compared to the costs of your business remaining idle for 90 days, it's a very small price to pay! |

- Setting up remote access for staff where practicable
- Alternative ways of operating should staff levels decline significantly
- Monitoring staff comings and goings
- Stockpiling protective equipment for staff to cover 90 days of an outbreak
- Performing extensive hygiene sweeps company-wide and monitoring staff well-being vigilantly
