In just a few weeks, the world has changed entirely. Borders shut, shops and restaurants closed, and a global pandemic sweeping the earth. It has been an uncertain and destabilizing time for many of us, particularly those on the frontline. Healthcare workers, emergency services, and the education and volunteer industries are the most affected right now.

Here at SafetyCulture, we decided it was time to act – and do something to support these ‘Frontline Heroes’ so they feel better equipped to deal with their response to their community.

We’ve surfaced a list of free resources that teams working in these sectors can use, completely free.

Healthcare

Health care workers are at the center of the epidemic. They are putting their lives at risk, and even their coworkers and families lives at risk by dealing with this crisis.

There are several things that healthcare workers can do to mitigate further illness and prevent their staff and patients from getting sick.
