It covers the key workplace types identified, including outdoor work, factories and warehouses, offices, branches and vehicles and is designed to fulfil the employer’s requirement to provide information and training to its employees. The comprehensive course identifies the ways in which Covid-19 is spread from contaminated surfaces or respiratory droplets, and provides some practical workplace hygiene rules to help minimise risk. It also offers useful guidance for maintaining safe social distancing when at a workstation, in meetings, when moving around the office or factory floor and when travelling in vehicles. Health and scientific professionals have warned that the pandemic is unlikely to be a short-term crisis and that Covid-19 could circulate in the human population for the long-term, possibly causing periodic epidemics. The guidance covered in the training course will explain the need to remain vigilant and implement both appropriate social distancing and good hygiene regimes, to help maintain a safe and secure workplace for all employees.
