A Covid-19 assessment in the workplace is critical following the significant impact of coronavirus during recent months. The well-being and safety of staff are crucial and businesses need to open in a safe way. As an employer, you must protect people from harm. This includes taking reasonable steps to protect your workers and others from coronavirus.
Risk Safety Services can provide ongoing support and information as your company implements a ‘new normal’ in the workplace. This can include carrying out a Covid-19 assessment in the workplace. HSE has put clear guidelines in place for your business and we work with your team to ensure the correct procedures are established and follow the guidance.
Our team of health and safety experts will establish key information about your business. This will include identifying high-risk groups, how to protect yourself and others, and the risks within your specific business. This detailed approach will determine the risk assessment that needs to be in place for your business.
Your Covid-19 assessment in the workplace can be supported by implementing practical measures. These include;
- Facilitate more frequent hand washing
- Allow home working where possible, otherwise, follow social distancing guidelines
- Removing activities that can not be done with social distancing in place
- Share your risk assessment with your employees and post it online if possible.
Following these procedures will ensure you are acting as a responsible employer and protecting you, your staff, your visitors, and your business.
