Teys Australia’s Naracoorte plant continues to operate to meet strong demand from domestic customers.
In a statement, Teys Australia said it was proud of its dedicated team of essential workers who are keeping quality food on the table for Australians during an extremely challenging time.
In line with SA Health’s requirements, the following arrangements currently apply at the site to protect the health and safety of the team:
- Daily rapid antigen testing (RAT) for all employees not working under the SA Health exemption protocol.
- No team member on site has tested positive within the last seven days.
- Any employee who has tested positive via a PCR or RAT must have met a minimum of seven days in isolation, be feeling well and asymptomatic to be eligible for return to work under the SA Health exemption protocol.
- Each employee’s exemption is individually managed by SA Health and is subject to checks and verification by SA Police.
- Any employee who has tested positive either via PCR or RAT and has not met the minimum seven-day isolation requirement or is not feeling well is not eligible for work and will remain in isolation.
- Those essential workers who are eligible for an exemption are working entirely separately from other workers and must return home immediately after their shift is complete.
- All employees and visitors at the plant are required to be fully vaccinated.
- We use full PPE whilst in the workplace, practice social distancing and work to high levels of personal hygiene.
Teys Australia continues to work closely and responsively with the relevant health authorities and adheres to all requirements for essential workers.
