Mass Illness Plan Template
Epidemics and pandemics are unpredictable in their timing and impact, making preparedness and planning of vital importance. Expectations and reactions from employees, customers, vendors, government officials, local authorities and the general population all have to be considered. Given the unpredictability of outbreak events, the plan must allow for considerable flexibility in its response. The Mass Illness Plan Template provides mass illness plan guidelines based upon trigger points of the World Health Organization (WHO) and can be modified to fit your company’s individual needs.
