Management
- Please ensure all staff are aware of reporting requirements and that all confirmed cases are escalated to your H&S competent person.
- Information notes are to be sent out and any updates communicated in a timely manner to the workforce.
- This must include letting staff know about symptoms and actions the medical professionals are advising people to take.
- A colleague who has been isolated for 14 days cannot return to work until the appropriate ‘fit note’ documentation is provided by their GP/healthcare provider to demonstrate they are now fit to return to work.
- Assessments to be reviewed every 6 months or where significant change has occurred
- Please remind staff that in order to minimize the risk of spread of infection, we rely on everyone in the industry taking responsibility for their actions and behaviors inside and outside of work.
- Please encourage an open and collaborative approach between your teams on site where any issues can be openly discussed and addressed.
If in England call NHS on 111, NHS guidance is that you do not go directly to your GP surgery, community pharmacy or hospital unless an emergency occurs
