Protecting vulnerable workers during the coronavirus pandemic

If your business has employees then make sure you consider the risk to workers who are particularly vulnerable to coronavirus and put controls in place to reduce that risk.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance explains what you should do as an employer to protect vulnerable workers during the pandemic.

 It covers the following topics:

  • supporting workers in higher-risk groups
  • clinically extremely vulnerable workers
  • supporting extremely vulnerable workers returning to work
  • protections in local lockdown areas
  • pregnant workers

For further information please visit the HSE website.

There is also a link to the latest information on shielding and protecting workers in Wales.
