Information from the Health & Safety Executive- October 2020

You should make sure you consider the risk to workers who are particularly vulnerable to coronavirus and put controls in place to reduce that risk.

It covers the following topics:

• supporting workers in higher-risk groups
• clinically extremely vulnerable workers
• supporting extremely vulnerable workers returning to work
• protections in local lockdown areas
• pregnant workers
