COVID-19 RISK ASSESSMENT
“Everyone needs to assess and manage the risks of COVID-19. As an employer, you also have a legal responsibility to protect your workers and others from risks to their health and safety.”
Reference – working safely during Covid-19 in offices and contact centres – Government guidance.
Going back to work during the end phases of the Covid-19 lockdown can seem daunting, especially as an employer. There are so many factors to assess and work around, all on top of the day to day work of getting your business back to ‘new normal’.
Safety Consulting Lancs can help you. Drawing on my years of experience within the occupational health and safety industry I have a good understanding of the most recent guidance from Government, the World Health Organisation and the NHS. Utilising this information, I can then put together a ‘COVID-19 Back to Work/Restart Assessment’ that will help you meet the responsibilities you have as an employer, to keep you, your staff and others safe.
MINIMISING THE CORONAVIRUS RISK
Although you cannot completely eliminate the risk from COVID-19, using a planned detailed approach, I will be able to identify areas of significant risk in your business, and suggest practical and reasonable measures that will help to lower that risk, making your workplace safer for everyone. From managing personal hygiene measures, hand sanitisation, temperature checking, safe distancing controls and Covid testing of your staff, to the way in which you process and manage your daily work routines; all aspects of your work and workplace can be risk assessed and controls suggested. This will then ensure you, your staff, and anyone visiting your workplace has an even better chance of getting home safe and staying healthy, during this pandemic.
