One of the primary outcomes following the Covid-19 outbreak has been the intensification of cleaning regimes everywhere and, in particular, in all workplaces.

 

What do I need to do?

 

In order to comply with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, employers are required to risk assess the use of any chemical or substance which may prove hazardous to employees.

 

Whilst transitioning back to work, employers may need to introduce new cleaning products or ask people who do not normally undertake cleaning activities to participate in them.

 

The effects that any change in process or working practices needs to be fully understood by employers and reasonable controls implemented to protect those who could be affected.
