Covid 19 Induction

COVID-19 Induction

Workers need to be told about changes in the workplace and updated on new ways of working. Our usual induction, or workplace familiarisation, for new employees has been revised to include measures to help prevent the spread of the virus. All workers will be brought through this induction before starting back to work. The induction will be carried out in a safe manner with physical distancing measures in place.

The following range of items will be discussed and brought to the attention of workers:

• Communication system
• Return-to work form
• Signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (at home and in the workplace)
• Information on how the virus is spread
• Control measures to help prevent infection
• COVID-19 contact log
• Changes to risk assessments and safety statement
• Changes to emergency plans and first aid procedures
• Minimising contact
• Reporting procedures

Attendance at a COVID-19 induction will be recorded and records kept.
