It is now more important than ever that businesses take a proactive and planned approach to risk management so their businesses can continue to operate during the Coronavirus outbreak.
Ensuring your business is COVID-secure is essential to keeping your workers and customers safe.
The IoD and HSE’s leaflet Leading health and safety at work (INDG417) sets out the principles to help leaders across all industries use a ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ approach to keep their workplaces safe.
Available as a free download or alternatively to purchase as a hard copy, the leaflet is for use by all directors, governors, trustees, officers and their equivalents in the private, public and third sector.
HSE has also produced the following guides, to keep workers COVID-secure during the outbreak and help you manage the risk from coronavirus in your business:
