Contingency plan for significant outbreak of disease

The purpose of this document is to provide a governance framework for the co-ordination of the Institute response to a significant outbreak of disease.  A significant disease outbreak would include an influenza pandemic.  A co-ordinated response is designed to limit the spread of infection and limit illness arising from such an outbreak.

This document provides a source of information for staff and students who may succumb to such a disease incidence.  It provides guidance for staff and students on how to address the adverse effects of a significant outbreak of disease among staff or students, resulting in significant absence due to illness.  The document provides a source of information to assist decision making by managers to facilitate consistency of decision making across the Institute.
