This Guideline provides a series of evidence-informed recommendations outlined as Ten Organizational Elements, which lay the foundation for organizational resiliency during an infectious public health crisis.

This Guideline is in alignment with Canadian Standards Association’s (CSA Group) Standards Z1011.1 Work Disability Management for Paramedics3 and Z1003.1-18 Psychological Health and Safety in the Paramedic Service Organization.4
