Apologies if this has already been asked, the Health & Safety personal,who are presently at work, be it some supportng construction or the essential services, are you audting/visiting workplaces or supporting online via Home working?  Have you adapted audits to include  focus on PPE and present guidance on virus control measures?

Regards

Audits can wait Im affraid.

Unless it is very urgent, there will be time to catch up IMO.

I am following guidelines and working from home.

I agree - I work in an essentail service and am a Key Worker, but audits and RA reviews are all on hold

In relation to fire risk assessments, the review dates on a number of premises will be missed, but I believe as long as the reason for the delay is recorded, it will not be an issue.

I have already written a fire safety policy & guidance (albeit the policy has not been ratified via the normal management channels) which provides a rationale and mitigation for a number of extraordanairy measures we are taking. This includes me working from home & being on call 24/7 for advice - mainly for urgent repairs where hot working may be required.
