COVID-19 Return to Work Awareness Training Course A Plan for Safe Return

Returning to the workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic: what employers should be thinking about? The past five months have been tough, particularly for employers. Navigating the coronavirus crisis and its after-effects will be one of the biggest business challenges of our time. To keep businesses running while minimising the risk to employees, most companies have adopted new plans of working. Many employers have implemented plans to lay off workers while many employees have been working remotely. The UK Government’s laws and regulations have been gradually changing. Employers are starting to consider returning their staff back to the workplace with a caring and thoughtful plan of action. How can you start returning to work safely? Employers need to cautiously develop a well written return-to-work plan and a workplace risk assessment that addresses the risks of COVID-19. This plan needs to be in compliance with federal, state, and local return-to-work orders, workplace safety issues, screening procedures, and other employee health-related concerns. To maintain safety and stop the spread of Coronavirus, a basic COVID-19 Safety and Awareness Training in the workplace will play an integral role.
