We know many workers, union reps and employers have questions and concerns about safe working \u2013 especially for those continuing to work away from home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\nThis joint statement between the Health and Safety Executive, the TUC and the CBI is intended to clarify the position. The health and safety of workers remains paramount. Employers must continue to provide workers with<br \/>\ninformation about risks to their health and the actions their employers must take.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\nSocial distancing is a key public health measure introduced by Public Health England to reduce the spread of infection. Most employers are going to great lengths to ensure social distancing wherever possible. The HSE,<br \/>\nCBI and TUC wish to publicly support these efforts. Firms that can safely stay open and support livelihoods should not be forced to close by misunderstandings about government guidance. <\/span><span>But if it comes to the HSE\u2019s attention that employers are not complying with the relevant Public Health England guidance (including enabling social distancing where it is practical to do so), HSE will consider a range of actions ranging from providing specific advice to employers through to issuing enforcement notices, including prohibition notices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\nWhere a worker has a genuine concern about health and safety which cannot be resolved through speaking with their employer or trade union, they should contact the relevant enforcement agency \u2013 either their local authority, or the HSE through https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/contact\/concerns.htm<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For firms who are unsure about the guidance, please visit https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/news\/social-distancing-coronavirus.htm<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Information from HSE website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an extremely worrying time for firms and workers.
