The Airmic coronavirus resource page is a useful listing of relevant information during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will be adding information to this page regularly so please check back for updates.
Update
The Health and Safety Team at Herbert Smith Freehills have been talking to many businesses about the health and safety challenges they are facing as they continue to operate their businesses; and how best to do so in a way which minimises legal risk.
Following the publication of further Government guidance on 11 May many businesses which had not been permitted to operate, or have employees working from home, are turning their attention to consulting with employees and putting in place COVID specific risk assessments so they are in a position to move forward once restrictions are lifted further.
The Herbert Smith Team has developed a Risk Assessment Toolkit to assist businesses prepare their own office based risk assessments. It provides a framework for carrying out a risk assessment by identifying the main risks alongside relevant guidance. Please contact Howard Watson at howard.watson@hsf.com if this is of interest.
