COVID-19 Risk assessments, safe operating policies and reopening requirements

 

Due to the nature of our business and number of sites in which we operate, it’s not possible to provide risk assessments and policies for each individual site. However, within the Government guidelines for this requirement, we have outlined the process that we will undertake for the reopening of each site or office.

 

We have also provided our people and clients with our reopening documentation which informs everyone as to how we will reopen our catering facilities and venues or restart our services as well as how things will be managed moving forward.

 

All our documentation including online forms and declarations that need to be completed are available via our intranet including:

 

  • Covid-19 HSE Documentation
  • Mandatory Government Posters
  • Online forms and declarations
  • COSHH information
  • HSE Signage and screening
  • IT & Technology information including preordering / payment applications
  • Food information including menu cyclesand standard operating practices
  • Marketing and promotions including physical distancing printed and digital signage
  • Financial information
  • HSE Monthly audit requirements
