6. Create a Checklist type Posters and distribute in key
locations around campus. This can be reinforced by
incorporating into the OH&S students units.
Key Points:
Cover nose and mouth –crook of elbow or tissue
Wash Hands
Use of Anti-bacterial gels

7. Propose access to a free seasonal ‘Flu Vaccination’ for
teachers, should be expanded to include enrolled students.
Our research supported the validity and effectiveness of successful implementation
and we estimate:
Costs of the vaccination off-loaded through reduced student /
teacher absences
Programmed timetables more effective with less re-adjustments of
content/sessions due to absences.
Better rates of student rention due to less absences as well as
overwhelmed students doing catch-ups
Student rate of completion increases the budget of the faculty

8. Placement of anti-bacterial dispensers in key locations
around campus such as:
Student Association room
Lunch rooms
Toilets
Staff rooms

9. First Aiders can help prevent the
spread of the flu by checking with
the use of an ear thermometer
(suspected unwell students):
Allowing a student to leave an
assessment task (ie. grant flexible
delivery)
OR
Ask an unwell student to go
home/go to the Doctor for a
further health check and
documentation.
10. Modernisation of split and ducted
air conditioner systems to incorporate
High Efficiency Filters and Ultraviolet
Sanitizing probes
Bigger budget allocations to allow
for increased maintenance and filter
exchange.
Transparency of collected data to OH&S Committee
11. • As with some of our neighbours in South East Asia, the
use of bio-thermal computer imaging equipment may be a
necessary installation within our institution's of the future.
• These will support systems in place at both airports and
hospitals.
• Educational programs and drills will reinforce awareness.
