The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has published a range of guidance, which you may find useful for your business.
It includes information on:
- using PPE and face masks at work – guidance for healthcare workers, including facefit tests and advice on PPE for non-healthcare workers
- regulating occupational health and safety – outlining HSE's regulatory approach during the outbreak
- divers' medical fitness and assessment – when to return to diving after COVID-19 infection and arrangements for medical assessment
It is now more important than ever that businesses take a proactive and planned approach to risk management so their businesses can continue to operate safely during the coronavirus outbreak.
The Institute of Directors (IoD) and HSE’s leaflet ‘Leading health and safety at work’(INDG417) sets out the principles to help leaders across all industries use a ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ approach to keep their workplaces safe.
Available as a free download the leaflet applies to organisations of all sizes.
