Risk Assessment During the Covid-19 Pandemic

As an employer, you must protect people from harm. This includes taking reasonable steps to protect your workers and others from coronavirus. This is called a Covid-19 risk assessment and as necessary to manage risk and protect people.

The HSE has laid out some crucial steps to take to make the workplace a safe place and that employees are protected.  As an employer, you must:

  • Identify what work activity or situations might cause transmission of the virus
  • Think about who could be at risk
  • Decide how likely it is that someone could be exposed
  • Act to remove the activity or situation, or if this isn’t possible, control the risk

Some of the practical measures that can be implemented and will operate in conjunction with your Covid-19 risk assessment include;

  • Facilitate more frequent hand washing
  • Allow home working where possible, otherwise, follow social distancing guidelines
  • Consider if all activities need to continue if they can not be done at a social distance
  • Share your risk assessment with your employees and post it online if possible.
