Workers urged to adopt cautious return to workplaces

The Government has urged people to adopt a gradual return approach to workplaces.

New guidelines have been issued to employers to make offices and other places of work safe environments.

New advice issued today says employers may wish to keep some Covid rules in place for now.

The new recommendations issued by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment contain advice for both workers and employers after the emergency recommendation to work from home was lifted earlier this month.

“The pandemic is not over and the emergence of new variants with increased levels of transmissibility, immune escape and/or virulence remains a risk both nationally and globally,” the document states.

The protocol urges employers to maintain constant contact with unions and employee representatives as the return to the workplace is rolled out.

“The requirements to maintain a two-metre physical distance and to adopt pods of six for indoor events have been removed,” it states.

“However, public health advice for the individual and for sectors notes that adopting a physical distance continues to be good practice.

“Employers may choose to maintain some of the practices or arrangements that were in place based on the Work Safely Protocol for the period of transition back to office working.

“In meetings, events or training, the continued focus on hand and respiratory etiquette and adequate ventilation are all measures that may continue.”
