Post-Lockdown Workplace Rules: Our Health and Safety Services Are Here
Our Health and Safety Services are here to help
As we move towards a potential relaxing of the COVID-19 lockdown rules, it would appear that employers will be required to effectively “self-certify” that they have completed a Risk Assessment for their staff to return to work.
The Government is currently working on guidance for this requirement, but it is almost certainly going to require employers to minimise the numbers of staff using equipment, stagger shift time and breaks, and maximise home-working, along with the guidance on where possible working 2m apart and increased hygiene measures.
Once it is confirmed what employers will be required to do, Line Business Services Health and Safety consultancy services will be available to undertake independent reviews of the risk assessments. This will give employers, employees, and customers reassurance the risk assessments are suitable and sufficient.
We will get back to you with further information, so make sure you follow us on our social media channels: Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter.
