Understanding Your

Health & Safety Obligations

in Unprecedented Times

Mar. 20 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present challenges for organisations and for individuals, from remote working and employment law issues, to staff wellbeing and productivity.

Public health and wellbeing rightfully remains the main priority in order to minimise the spread of COVID-19. The latest guidance from the Government is that businesses and workplaces should encourage their employees to work from home, wherever possible. However, for many organisations and for many employees, home working is not an option.

These are unprecedented times, but as an employer it is important to maintain your focus on workplace health and safety.
