Covid-19: Coronavirus – returning safely after lockdown and employers’ obligations
28 May 2020 12:30pm BST
In many parts of the world that have been in ‘lockdown’, organisations are now planning for or managing the implementation of staff returning to workplaces.
Employers have obligations to comply with health and safety standards set by governments and regulators worldwide, and they must understand and discharge their duties of care to employees and others against the backdrop of the current pandemic.
This webinar will address the common themes in returning to work, along with an overview of some key health and safety obligations, how this impacts on returning to work, the role of competent health and safety assistance, what extra adjustments may be needed and other important considerations.
