Recovery, Renewal, Resilience

Organisations must ensure they, their employees, and people who visit their workplace are complying with COVID-19 safety measures e.g. wear a mask, sanitize and maintain social distancing. As time goes on and people become fatigued with regulations, standards may slip. It is the organisation's responsibility to ensure due diligence in identifying risks and mitigating them. This may require increased surveillance of working practices and trained Compliance Officers who specialise in encouraging compliance. Consider that Compliance Officers can:

• Ensure that COVID-19 safe practices in the workplace are updated, communicated, trained, and monitored effectively
• Constantly seek good practices from elsewhere and systematise these to enhance protection of people at work
• Balance legal requirements with response actions to ensure safety comes first
• Be a single, expert point of contact to address issues related to COVID-19 in an organisation
• Constantly evaluate workplace compliance with the regulations and report on breaches
