The National Retail Association (NRA) has partnered with ASX-listed Registered Training Organization (RTO) iCollege and Australian company Soul Safe ™ as the exclusive IPC training and certification provider for infection prevention and control (IPC).
This is to help retailers safely speed up their return to work.
“Our partnership with a number of industry associations, including the NRA and Heavy Vehicles Industry Australia (HVIA), will help companies return to work from COVID-19 isolation and train their employees to ensure safe and COVID- creating a free environment for them customers and employees, ”says Jack Martin, CEO of Soul Safe ™.
"Soul Safe ™ offers an online training framework that complies with the latest government policies and ongoing, marketable certification that responds to policy changes and new knowledge about the virus."
As the situation is volatile and the restrictions at certain points change from day to day, the NRA welcomes the new normal.
Dominique Lamb, CEO of the NRA, says her 28,000 union members have done an amazing job in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic to introduce new methods of social detachment and hygiene.
"Soul Safe ™ gives owners and managers, their customers, and their employees the assurance that they have completed all the training they need to ensure everyone's safety, business compliance, and opening the doors," said Ms. Lamb.
According to Ash Katta, Managing Director of iCollege, COVID-19 has expanded the way all organizations work by adding a new level of complexity.
"Soul Safe ™ goes beyond the training that is currently available to provide companies with the resources they need to deliver an optimized response that meets the expectations of the community and the industry," said Katta.
"Soul Safe ™ will complement the federal government's $ 80 million infection control training fund, which is expected to launch in July."
