Health and safety review of office accommodation

May 31, 2020

From next week the Trust’s Health and Safety team will begin visits to all of our office accommodation. The purpose of their visit is to risk assess each workplace in light of the government’s guidelines on working safely during COVID-19 in offices and contact centres, that is supported by PHE and the Health and Safety Executive.

The team will aim to cause as little disruption as possible but may need to take some measurements of distances between desks for example, in which case you may need to leave your office for a few minutes. The results of the office risk assessments will inform our discussions on future ways of working, including working from home.
