As the Government announces their latest roadmap plan, businesses can now prepare to reopen their doors over the coming months. For many businesses the announcement will suggest a potential reopening date after almost a whole year of closure.
Undoubtedly, the recent months have been some of the most challenging we’ve faced as a nation and as a global business community. But we can begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel as our world moves to a gradual, and safe re-opening of the economy.
As you prepare to get back to work, we know that nothing is more important
than the safety and security of your employees and customers.
However uncertain our post-lockdown life may seem, there are steps that can be taken to prepare you, your employees and the building in order to hit the ground running when the time comes.
Review your building
If your building has been closed for an extended period of time you may find that you have some work to do before you can welcome people back (and not just a spot of dusting).
Review procedures and policies
Review your existing policies and procedures and ensure that everything is not only up-to-date, but considers the impact of the pandemic. From general risk assessments to fire safety evacuation procedures, you may be surprised to learn how much infection control considerations can impact these.
You will also need to develop a COVID-19 specific risk assessment to ensure you are meeting your legal responsibility to protect your employees from risk. To find information specific to your sector, visit GOV.uk.
Implement and review new practices to help infection control
The HSE.gov.uk has published an extensive guide which details the steps you can take to create a COVID-secure workplace. While you may have put preventive measures in place last year, it is still important to review your updated COVID risk assessment to ensure that these are still effective and suit your businesses day-to-day operation. It is also important to remember that these measures shouldn’t be implemented at a detriment to other safety considerations.
