Queuing
We have produced a detailed guide to support businesses reviewing queuing arrangements for their respective premises, taking into account social distancing measures. Queuing arrangements will need to consider a number of factors and we have outlined what you will need to consider in planning your implementation.
Contingency planning
A business continuity management plan may help you return to ‘business as usual’ as soon as possible.
Preparing your business for emergencies
Fire safety
With many businesses now looking at reopening, and adapting how they work to incorporate social distancing it's crucial fire safety needs are considered alongside these changes.
Legionnaires
Water system stagnation due to lack of use needs to be managed to prevent problems upon reinstatement or return to use. Different types of water systems may require different precautions to be applied to manage the high risk of Legionella. It’s vital that all premises with a water system have an active programme in place to control the growth of Legionella bacteria and so ensure the safety of their employees, guests and other people, as well as the businesses’ reputation.
