COVID - Risk Assessment
As a facility provider, you should complete your own COVID-19 Risk Assessment and publish this to your users.
We have provided an example risk assessment below, which is for illustrative purposes only, and includes some examples of things to consider. Consider how this will apply to each aspect of your operation and identify the controls you require to meet Government guidance regarding health, social distancing and hygiene etc. Remember that you must review your other Health and Safety, and Safeguarding, risk assessments for other hazards such as fire, first aid etc.
