Covid-19 - Return to Work & Events

July 7th 2020 inNews

Image

Further to our statement on ‘Lockdown Considerations and Recovery Planning’ from 27.04.2020 we have created this guidance document on the steps to be taken when staff Return to Work and the Return of Events.

The staging of events at present is still not possible under Government guidance and any event you propose would at this time require Government approval. As such the range of possible events is limited and would need very comprehensive documentation for all related parties through the supply chain including staff and any form of attendance (which is problematic / challenging at this stage due to travel restrictions). 

This document is set out to consider two main areas; a Return to Work and a Return of Events. In order to allow some form of planning in this regard this is an outline for considerations, based on the current Government guidance and our own insight. This factors in the majority of our clients’ specific needs ranging from offices, warehouses and venues to outdoor spaces. 

The Government guidance is expected to change regularly and as such this document shall remain in a state of review. Be prepared that any change in guidance is likely to affect your planning and requirements, be flexible in your approach and aware of the steps required and the impact of any changes to your business. 

This guidance document is being provided to you, our client, without charge as we understand at this time more than ever the need to be community minded and to help everyone return to work safely. We encourage you to use this document to help you understand the steps required for returning to work and to plan now for the eventual return to events. 

The Government has implemented a strategy that sets out a cautious roadmap to easing existing measures in a safe and measured way, subject to successfully controlling the virus and being able to monitor and react to its spread. 

The roadmap will be kept constantly under review as the epidemic, and the world’s understanding of it, develops. 

The UK Chief Medical Officers have identified a 5 stage approach to the rates of infection in the UK: Image

Until such time as the guidance is published in relation to the events industry the approach is only to plan within the current guidance, which at this time is: 

  • Non essential travel to be avoided (work from home where able) 
  • Avoid using public transport (where possible) - Use of face coverings when using public transport as social distancing can’t be ensured (15th June onwards this is mandatory) 
  • Maintain social distancing (2 metres, realer to 1m from July 4th with conditions) 
  • Increased awareness to personal hygiene - Wash hands frequently - avoid touching your face 
  • Use of face coverings if you are likely to be in an enclosed space where social distancing isn’t possible - such as retail premises.
    1. At present the Government has identified the UK as being at stage 3 working towards stage 3 and is implementing a 3 stage (at present) return to work as shown below:

    2. Image

Steps of adjustment to current social distancing measures - As the caseload falls, different steps can be taken to adjust social distancing measures.

Step 1 - 13/05
Step 2 - 01/06 onwards
Step 3 - not before 04/07

 

In general terms with the awareness and understanding that the health professionals have at this stage individuals should follow the normal precautions recommended for Flu like symptoms.

This means that where an individual shows signs of illness as detailed above you should recommend they seek medical attention and if they are staff encourage them to go home.

As the advice and guidance is ever changing the NHS111 symptoms link has been provided below: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/check-if-you-have-coronavirus-symptoms/

As and when the Government Track and Trace App is launched this should be adopted in line with recommendations to control the spread of the virus and assist in the local and regional approaches.

 

When travelling, everybody (including critical workers) should continue to avoid public transport wherever possible.

If they can, people should instead choose to cycle, walk or drive, to minimise the number of people with whom they come into close contact. It is important many more people can easily travel around by walking and cycling, so the Government will increase funding and provide new statutory guidance to encourage local authorities to widen pavements, create pop-up cycle lanes, and close some roads in cities to traffic (apart from buses) as some councils are already proposing.

Social distancing guidance on public transport must be followed rigorously. As with workplaces, transport operators should follow appropriate guidance to make their services COVID-19 Secure.

Use of face coverings whilst travelling
As more people return to work, there will be more movement outside people’s immediate household. This increased mobility means the Government is now advising that people should aim to wear a face-covering in enclosed spaces where social distancing is not always possible and they come into contact with others that they do not normally meet, for example on public transport or in some shops. Homemade cloth face-coverings can help reduce the risk of transmission in some circumstances. Face-coverings are not intended to help the wearer, but to protect against inadvertent transmission of the disease to others if you have it asymptomatically.

A face covering is not the same as a face-mask such as the surgical masks or respirators used as part of personal protective equipment by healthcare and other workers. These supplies must continue to be reserved for those who need it. Face-coverings should not be used by children under the age of two, or those who may find it difficult to manage them correctly, for example primary age children unassisted, or those with respiratory conditions. It is important to use face- coverings properly and wash your hands before putting them on and taking them off.

“ Invariably many hire spaces don’t know their actual safe capacity limit and this can be a really significant factor...”

International travel

As the level of infection in the UK reduces, and the Government prepares for social contact to increase, it will be important to manage the risk of transmissions being reintroduced from abroad.

Therefore, in order to keep overall levels of infection down and in line with many other countries, the Government will introduce a series of measures and restrictions at the UK border. This will contribute to keeping the overall number of transmissions in the UK as low as possible. First, alongside increased information about the UK’s social distancing regime at the border, the Government will require all international arrivals to supply their contact and accommodation information. They will also be strongly advised to download and use the NHS contact tracing app.

Second, the Government will require all international arrivals not on a short list of exemptions to self-isolate in their accommodation for fourteen days on arrival into the UK. Where international travellers are unable to demonstrate where they would self-isolate, they will be required to do so in accommodation arranged by the Government. The Government is working closely with the devolved administrations to coordinate implementation across the UK.

Small exemptions to these measures will be in place to provide for continued security of supply into the UK and so as not to impede work supporting national security or critical infrastructure and to meet the UK’s international obligations. All journeys within the Common Travel Area will also be exempt from these measures.

These international travel measures outlined by Government will be introduced as soon as possible. Further details, and guidance, will be set out shortly, and the measures and list of exemptions will be kept under regular review.

Return to Work

With the aid of surveys, assessments and reviewing of the existing systems, layout, use, equipment and procedures the entire business activities and services should be viewed with the aim to ensure the systems and procedures in place are Covid secure.

It is essential that the Covid considerations do not overlook the pre existing and identified hazards and all elements of the Covid secure review should work from the starting point of pre existing risk assessments and safe working systems. Consider the governing body in each area and compliance to the current guidance as required in each area/region.

Any adaption and or revision of these for the Covid approach must never lose sight of the basic requirements for a safe working space and should at all times consider the existing regulations.

This is an opportunity to review your business from top to bottom and the use of the established Risk Assessment system and Hierarchy of Controls should be relied on to achieve the best possible solution and outcome.

Communication

At this time it is essential that all employers consult with staff and visitors to identify and understand their concerns and fears:

  • Consider the use of staff and visitor surveys to establish concerns and challenges

  • Confidence is key either perceived or real concerns of staff and clients should be addressed

  • Understanding and implementation requires staff to accept and adopt the amended controls

  • Be flexible in approach with clear guidance adoption and current approach controls - cost is not

    a reasonable concern at this stage if not meeting basic guidance - be prepared to revisit

    multiple times and be reactive to the developing situation

  • Use positive reinforcement with signage, posters, physical divisions and markers to reinforce messaging

    1. Government - Talking with your workers about Coronavirus

      https://www.hse.gov.uk/news/assets/docs/talking-with-your-workers.pdf

      1. Personal Hygiene

        Raise awareness and increase provisions in place to enable adoption of greater emphasis on personal hygiene, limit the areas of contamination and the need to share equipment or areas.
        How to avoid catching and spreading germs, there are things you can do to help stop germs like coronavirus spreading:

      • Ensure social distancing of 2 metres is in place (where possible)
      • Ensure all equipment and personal items are properly cleaned and sanitised - this is in relation
      to equipment such as radios, phones or any such which can come into contact with the face or
      hands
      • Be aware of common items you may touch - door handles, handrails, kitchen and work
      equipment (in shared spaces)
      • Wear face coverings in public places where social distancing may not be possible - public
      transport, shops etc.
      • Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then dispose of
      the tissue responsibly or take with you until you can, and wash your hands, or use a sanitiser
      gel
      • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use a
      sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
      • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
      • Avoid close contact with people who are unwell
  • Image
  • The key message is try not to panic and or over react and maintain sensible precautions and
    personal hygiene.

  • Workplace layout and circulation

  • It is advised that you look at your workplace and consider the layout and use of the spaces, identify
    within the business requirements that you have considered:
    • Separate entry exit points
    • The physical use of barriers and signage to reinforce 2 metre social distancing
    • One way system
    • Controlled use of shared spaces - welfare areas and toilets
    • Removal of hot desks
    • Work stations separated or excluded to maintain safe spacing
    • Reduced staff occupancy

  • Team selection - look to have identified coworker groups to reduce possible exposure “shift
    patterns”.

  • This can be aided with the use of staff surveys to identify common groups such as travel methods
    or vulnerability so all staff are in the same risk awareness group.

  • General Hygiene
    The cleanliness of the workplace should be assessed, you should establish suitable cleaning
    regimes with an increased frequency and or revised waste streams to minimise contact and or use
    of areas.

  • Consider your waste products and the potential increase in personal items (PPE) which may be
    single use and considered to be of higher risk at this time.

  • Staff Roles

  • Where able identify the roles that can be effectively undertaken from home and continue to
    encourage the Work From Home approach. Where a role is both business critical and can’t be
    undertaken from home then identify the minimum number of staff required and ability of your staff
    to attend the place of work, this may allow split shift pattern for the same role and allow greater
    flexibility in covering the position.

  • Consider the use of shift patterns and identify as able staff that can work comparable shift patterns
    reducing the interaction of groups by implementing phased patterns of work which limit staff and
    reduce the need to change staff members using designations of shift patterns e.g. red, green &
    yellow or first, second or third shifts.

  • This may allow a longer working day to facilitate productivity but reduce individual staff hours and
    limit numbers in the work place.

  • Where able you might be able to group staff in a way that makes both business sense and allow
    travel restrictions, for example those that can drive in could cover the peak public transport use
    and those that have to use public transport have a shift time that allows for a later start.
    This can be by department or company wide and would very much depend on your understanding
    of staff travel options and restrictions.

Staff & Visitor illness

If you are likely to have staff or visitors that may have or come into contact with somebody that has
Covid symptoms they should seek medical assurance and advice in relation to their own
circumstances and self isolate as directed by NHS111 service and guidance - Stay alert, control
the virus, save lives.


UK Government NHS messaging
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
Controls you should consider would be:


• Staff - send any member of staff exhibiting Flu-like symptoms home
• Ensure social distancing of 2 metres is in place (where possible) (reduced to 1m from July 4th)
• Ensure all equipment and personal items are properly cleaned and sanitised
• Be aware of common items you may touch - door handles, handrails, kitchen and work
equipment (in shared spaces)
• Ensure suitable welfare facilities are available with access to hand washing and or hand
sanitisers
• Ensure all waste such as tissues is disposed of and handled with the correct approach and
precautions - use of PPE and suitable waste handling


Vulnerable groups that require specific consideration and controls


The Government have highlighted that the persons below are at increased risk of serve illness of
the virus:


• Aged 70 or older (regardless of medical conditions)
• Under 70 with an underlying health condition listed below (i.e. anyone instructed to get a flu jab
as an adult each year on medical grounds):
• Chronic (long-term) respiratory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD), emphysema or bronchitis
• Chronic heart disease, such as heart failure
• Chronic kidney disease
• Chronic liver disease, such as hepatitis
• Chronic neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, multiple
sclerosis (MS), a learning disability or cerebral palsy
• Diabetes
• Problems with your spleen – for example, sickle-cell disease or if you have had your spleen
removed
• A weakened immune system as the result of conditions such as HIV and AIDS, or medicines
such as steroid tablets or chemotherapy

Risk assessment requirements


You should consider carefully asking your employees to return to their place of work without proper
plans in place. These will be needed to effectively protect your employees from the risks connected
to Coronavirus.


Identified within the Government guidance section 'Working safely during coronavirus’ the first step
is to ensure a suitable risk assessment has been completed.


Before restarting work you should ensure the safety of the workplace by:


• carrying out a risk assessment in line with the HSE guidance
• consulting with your workers or trade unions
• sharing the results of the risk assessment with your workforce and on your website

As an employer, you’re required by law to protect your employees, and others, from harm.

Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the minimum you must do
is:
• identify what could cause injury or illness in your business (hazards)
• decide how likely it is that someone could be harmed and how seriously (the risk)
• take action to eliminate the hazard, or if this isn’t possible, control the risk


Assessing risk is just one part of the overall process used to control risks in your workplace.
Working safely during coronavirus
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19/5-steps-to-working-safely

 

Legally speaking


Employers legal duties


Regulations
The underlying regulations dictate that:
a. employers have a legal duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all employees during the
course of employment (The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974) and,
b. employers have a duty to take reasonable measures, ensure a safe place of work and provide
appropriate equipment (Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999).


A breach of such duty could result in an employer being found criminally liable and having to
compensate employees for injury and losses which they prove were caused by, or materially
contributed, by a failure to meet such duty.


Common law


Additionally, a common law duty of care requires employers to take steps to contain infectious
diseases and prevent the infection of others or the exposure of others to the risk of infection. It is
worth noting, that COVID-19 has been has been declared an infectious disease subject to statutory
control as from 28 February 2020 (requiring notification by a medical practitioner who becomes
aware or suspects an instance of such disease to a medical officer of health and the Health and
Safety Executive Health Protection Surveillance Centre) - (Infectious Diseases (Amendment)
Regulations 2020).


Discharge and mitigation
To discharge your duty of care, businesses must show that they took reasonable steps in
mitigating the relevant risks. Generally, this requires implementing policies and procedures that are
based on and follow the latest Government guidance.


It is important that such policies and procedures are tailored to a business' specific risks (following
an appropriate risk assessment) supported by evidence of implementation and, of material
importance, communication to staff and other impacted persons.


Our Opinion
It would seem reasonable for employers to follow all Covid 19 guidelines on Health and Safety
published by Public Health England during the pandemic and closely monitoring and implementing
the Secure Guidelines and any further advice from Government and relevant industry bodies and
trade authorities.

At this time events are not possible but that does not mean we can’t plan for a potential return of
events and as such understanding your supply chain, the realistic deliverable services and time
scales within the current environment is key. The documentation required to evidence the process
and planning requirements or considerations has never been more important to remain flexible and
open to a return to staging events.


The planning of any event at this stage can only be based on current guidance and as such you
must consider:


• Travel of staff and visitors (when permitted) - use of modes of transport and avoidance of the
need for public transport
• Use of virtual or remote content
• Supply chain limitations
• Event environment - indoors/outdoors
• Management controls and supervision
• Build schedules
• Social distancing - avoiding / minimising queues
• Creating a linear or one way event to aid circulation and control of social distancing
• Additional hygiene requirements
• Limiting touch points
• Communication of steps taken to be Covid Secure - to both staff and attendees
• Signage, barriers, posters, vinyls etc.
• Media messaging to all parties - social responsibility


Be prepared to be flexible in your planning and manage clients' expectations based on the
permitted activities and challenges for staging any event.


Remain creative and look to work within the guidelines and not try to make your event fit them but
design the controls into your event experience.


At this stage the guidance does not permit any form of events and as such costs and controls for
planning are challenging so be prepared to adapt and amend the plans within the client brief as the
situation changes.

______________________________________________________________________

Risk assessment requirements

Event planning
When planing for a return to events, review your existing documentation, policies, procedures and
systems.

Consider these points:

  Assessment process
- Document all steps
Controls
- Document all steps
Support
- Document all steps
Social distancing -
compliance
Design your event to
include social distancing from the outset.

Avoid designing an event then trying to apply the rules and guidance.

Consider the guest journey and how you make social distancing a part of the experience that is followed without being a bolt on.
Consider a linear event with areas and reduced capacity.

Limit arrival times
Avoid any queueing or
congregation of guest or
staff.

Ensure any surfaces are
cleanable and implement
cleaning regime
Consider the use of
sanitiser stations
throughout the space
Limit the amount of
interaction required by
attendees (consider use of touch screens or
demonstration equipment)
Ensure simple information with a clear message is circulated and in place at all
stages of the event.

Confidence in the systems and controls is critical for a
sustainable return to events.

Consider surveys and
feedback on steps taken
and look to maintain
constant assessment this can be undertaken in the planning stage to alter the design of the event and or to adapt future events.
What steps have you
taken to protect guests
and staff - social
responsibility
Design will play a huge role in this area
By designing out problem areas or activities you will
resolve most issues.

Have you considered the additional requirements of
vulnerable groups
(identified in normal
circumstances as well as under COVID).
Ensure all staff are fully
briefed and aware of their roles with training in place from the outset
Identify the steps taken and materials used to mitigate risk.

Consider the impact on
supporting attendees who may need additional support in attending your event.
As part of your event
promotion a clear message must be given and convey all the steps taken to protect both staff and attendees.

Identify your reason for
staging the event make the message positive and offer an advice line for engaging with guests in advance to satisfy themselves that you
have considered their
needs.
Communication The impact of your return to work or continued services may be scrutinised by both
public and clients alike
Ensure you have a suitable response and
documentation to support your approach.
Identify the controls in place and conformity to
government guidance.

Remember if your industry or service is specifically identified in lock down this is critical to establish why you are operational and how you have conformed to
both the guidance and the ethical approach.
Publish your approach and reasons for delivery of services - be clear on the steps taken and your
approach.

Listen to feedback and
respond appropriately, as
required, to concerns and
changing guidance.
Groups of people Using streaming tools to avoid attendance, unless necessary
Can the event be held
outdoors or in well-
ventilated rooms whenever possible.
Only absolutely necessary participants should attend events and should maintain
2m separation throughout.

Avoid transmission during events, for example, from
sharing materials, business cards and other objects.

Provide hand sanitiser in all event areas.

Use floor signage to help people maintain social-distancing such as toilets where queues typically form.

Set up seating and tables to maintain spacing and reduce face-to-face
interactions
Ensure simple information with clear message is circulated and in place at all stages of the event.

Supervision must be in
place to ensure all controls are in place and remain effective.

Reinforce the need to have a wide ranging approach which looks at all elements / stages of the
business with the reminder to have in place:

• Staff, visitor and supply chain surveys/questionnaires
• Plans and proposed layouts for use and information
• Checklists to identify compliance
• Identified responsible persons to continually assess the guidance and implementation
• Use of task, activity and area Risk Assessments
• Remain flexible and review more frequently the approach

All the steps outlined here may seem daunting but if you approach the challenge methodically and
break down the process for a return to work into simple bite-size elements you will be able to see
where your challenges are and qualify the time and resources required to establish a Covid secure
workspace / event.

Additional services

We have produced a Coronavirus specific set of risk assessments and method statements that
when used as designed can be tailored to individual Company needs by assessing the specifics of
the business on a case by case basis.


The process involves an initial consulting period whereby we provide a coronavirus survey and
questionnaire specific to the type of business activity, this includes the following areas:
• Return to work - office
• Return to work - warehouse
• Return to work - venue (staff and tenants)
• Return to work - retail
• Return to work - restaurant / bar
• Return of events*
*As this is not yet permissible we will build on this to consider all available guidance for when
events are allowed and will then grow this to consider medium and large events over the course of
the coming months.


We then provide the risk assessment framework to you with the relevant tasks and hazards
addressed, along with a series of recommended control measures and actions. You are then
tasked with identifying your explicit control measures and provisions in place to address the
hazards. We then review your comments and offer further recommendations, where necessary,
and finally add a simplified residual risk rating to establish whether your control measures are
suitable.


Should you wish to explore this further, then please use the above contact details to find out more.
