Health and Safety Executive guidance

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides guidance on the steps employers should take to keep workplaces “COVID-secure” on its web page, Making your workplace COVID-secure during the coronavirus pandemic.

It has also published guidance for employers on holding conversations with workers and listening to, and acting on, their concerns: Talking to your workers during the coronavirus outbreak.

In January, the UNISON public services union called on the HSE to update its advice to make clear to employers they should review their safety measures in the light of the new coronavirus variant.
