Covid-19: a safe return to work

摘要

An RTS Northern Ireland workshop offered advice from Belfast law firm Millar McCall Wylie on returning to work safely after the production lull caused by Covid-19. Compliance with health and safety legislation is key, said employment lawyer David Mitchell at the September event. Employers have a duty to ensure "the health, safety and welfare of all their employees... and ensure [they] are not exposed to any risks to their health or safety". Abbie Long, a partner at Millar McCall Wylie, said health and safety policies would probably need to be updated "to take account of all the measures that need to be put in place for coronavirus".
