Critical to return to normal working following the pandemic is the maintenance of simple basic controls to reduce the risk of infection spread. Basic hygiene measures will reduce a range of infections from spreading, including colds, flu and COVID.
New working practices arising from the pandemic have been a positive consequence. We have seen many innovative ways to adapt and can share these with you to achieve improved safety and production.
The Government has made it clear that businesses need to operate wherever they can using a variety of safety processes where possible. Therefore, businesses need to start thinking about how they can be Safe to Work(eg in retail, leisure and education) or COVID-Secure. This is where PHSC can step in and help you, with Professional Help at Sensible Cost to develop a Return to Work Assessment and strategy.
The pandemic caused us to change how we work, with varying levels of success. Some organisations have learned that new ways of working have not had the negative effects they imagined, with productivity maintained and staff kept safe. However, there are still many tasks which can only be completed whilst at the workplace, and many businesses are struggling to find safe working methods to get the job done. Therefore a risk assessment (COVID-19 risk assessment) is needed to identify what systems and changes to the work environment are needed to keep people safe. You can find commonly asked questions we answer, and a free risk assessment planning questionnaire here which considers key factors other than social distancing. As specialists in this type of assessment, you come to the right place if you are looking for someone to help you.
We are also offering short Virtual Classroom Training sessions using Zoom / Teams to help businesses understand what they need to do, what to consider when completing their assessment and common mistakes and misperceptions that we have seen people making; hopefully, this will help you to avoid making the same mistakes – see our booking page for details of dates.
To properly identify what are the most effective health and safety controls at your own workplace a Safe to Work Risk Assessment (or Safe to Open Assessment) should be completed. There are some good practices already in existence (such as some supermarkets) and some which have good intentions but are not effectively implemented; it is not sufficient to simply have a protocol if it is not applied. This is where we can help, providing Professional Help at Sensible Cost.
We can either review and advise you on the measures taken from your own assessment to provide reassurance to staff, or
Complete your Covid-19 risk assessment to identify the management systems and practical measures needed, using our Coronavirus Safe to Work risk assessment package which includes a range of services – you choose which parts you want and need.
