State Fund Rolls Out Pandemic Planning Seminar Series
In response to recent fears of the H1N1 influenza and a possible
pandemic, State Fund has partnered with UC Berkeley's Center for
Infectious Disease and Emergency Readiness to offer a series of free
seminars statewide helping employers protect their workforces and
business operations.
"Flu
season has started, and it is extremely important that business leaders
educate themselves and prepare for something that has the potential to
heavily impact their workforces," said Chris Kaiser, Program Manager of
State Fund's Safety and Health Services Department.
From
Sacramento to San Diego, a dozen seminars are being offered across the
state now through mid-February, 2010. Designed for business owners, HR
managers, health and safety leaders, and risk and security managers,
these seminars will help prepare businesses on key concepts of business
continuity and emergency planning. Attendees will learn how to prepare
their organizations for the potential impact this flu season may have
on their workforces.
The seminars are open to the public. To see when an event will be held in your area, visit the Seminars page at www.scif.com.
The
seminars are part of State Fund's Employer Education Series offered
throughout the state on a variety of workers' compensation topics.
