COVID-19: Can employers be prosecuted if employees are exposed?

If you are still working during this period you must still follow government guidelines around social distancing.
For some transport, construction, manufacturing and trades activities this may lead to an increase in lone working as you are adapting to the current requirements.
Ensure you carry out a risk assessment and take reasonable measures to protect lone workers!

At Safewell our specially designed Baby First Aid workshop provides the essentials to help cope with an injury or emergency.

RIDDOR is the acronym for Reporting of Injuries Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995.

All injuries and incidents falling under the RIDDOR definition must be reported to the HSE’s Incident Contact Centre (ICC) either by telephone or online. The ICC will send the Incident Report details to the appropriate enforcing authority i.e. Local Authority or the HSE (Health and Safety Executive).
