We haven't done this, as we don't contract out to other premises, but i would guess it would include requirements for stringent PPE requirements, ensuring 2m minimum distances, washing of hands prior to commencement of work, breaks and upon completion of work. Cleaning of surfaces to be touched prior to commencement and upon completion of the tasks carried out. 

You could also include paperless RAMS that you het your workers to sign prior to emailing them and customers to sign for acceptance and emailing back, this way you avoid unnecessary contact, and perhaps electronic customer acceptance forms for use upon completion of the task. 

Most of us are concerned that people are taking appropriate action, and wanting people to take that responsibility, so actions like these may well suffice the requirements of your customer base.

I hope this is of some help, 

Regards,

Mike.

A good topic to discuss.  Also, things to consider is the legal aspects - record everything whilst this  pandemic is on-going.  

Could we be prosecuted if we did not do everything reasonably practicable to look after our employees? – Very unlikely, however it could be the case if we had a vulnerable employee working (have we checked if they are recovering from treatment, pregnant, extreme asthma etc.), any other workers must do everything we can do to keep safe.  E.g. if employees not socially distancing make specific changes of issuing masks.  If we are using a vulnerable worker – a wellness note from a GP will be needed – further information available from NHS.

We need to consult with insurers – especially on any statutory inspections not being carried out (LOLER, PUWER, and Pressure Vessels etc.). 

Risk assess equipment if we are not going to carry out a statutory inspection.  Currently MoT for vehicles have been extended so others may follow.  Any essential maintenance activities also needs recording on the COVID-19 Risk Assessment.  E.g. Control of Legionella – focus on the necessity.

Third party safety risk – safety implications.  Record and document decision making, personalise and look at the necessity of having them on-site – then record on the COVID-19 risk assessment.
