COVID-19: Guidance for businesses - health and safety response
Although Northern Ireland is currently under a strict lockdown with the NI executive urging businesses to allow staff to work from home wherever possible, it is essential that businesses have a plan in place for upholding health and safety standards. They need to start and plan for a full reopening where staff are welcomed back into the office and places of work. With the vaccine roll-out, a return to the workplace could happen sooner than expected and it is essential that businesses are proactive and have strategies for dealing with COVID-19 in the workplace.
In our latest publication we discuss the legal obligations, some of the guidance available, how to safeguard staff and the consequences for breach of regulations and guidelines.
