Workplaces planning to return to work and those operating during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic need to ensure they are protecting their workforce.
It is important that employees and employers work together to jointly identify effective controls to minimise the risk of transmission and make returning to work effective while looking after the health, safety and wellbeing of everyone in the organisation.
Some control measures will be simple and easy to implement, others might pose more of a challenge and require substantial changes to the way some organisations operate.
In our Risk Assessment section we provide information on how to carry out a risk assessment and some examples of typical control measures for certain activities.
In response to this we have recently launched our Mentoring Programme . The Mentoring Programme provides a great opportunity for Occupational Health & Safety professionals to get involved and share their knowledge and experience with SMEs, in both the preparation required before returning to work and how to continue to work safely once returned to work during COVID-19. If you are interested in becoming a mentor you can find out more here.
We have listed Sector Specific Guidance on this page also.
