The guidelines are intended to become a consensus of good practice and BSI encourages the business community and members of the public to have their say and share their learnings and insight on safe working to help protect public health.
Version 1 of the guidelines is available for immediate use. It provides a framework for business owners, senior leaders, managers and workers to protect people at work from the ongoing risks related to the coronavirus.
Comments are invited on Version 1 until 12 June by following two simple steps: Review Safe Working During the Covid-19 pandemic – General guidelines for organizations V.1; then submit comments.
Working with an Advisory Group, BSI will revise the document as frequently as necessary, taking into account the comments, government guidance, the level of risk and emerging knowledge. A second version of the guidelines will be published at the end of June, with the revised sections clearly highlighted to assist easy implementation.
Each version of the evolving guidelines will be sector-neutral and aligned to and complement the current UK government guidance.
