These are unprecedented times. Even with business continuity plans and effective management systems in place, dealing with the effect of the global COVID-19 crisis presents challenges for any business. There are a number of considerations to make, with risk factors affecting employees, business operations and service users. As part of our commitment to support clients, and in line with our partnership approach to effective risk management, Bureau Veritas UK has prepared the UK COVID-19 Resource Centre.

Here we explore the remote services we can offer your business at this difficult time, documents that guide businesses through this time whilst maintaining risk management and library of links that can support your workforce through this pandemic.

Of course, the situation is constantly changing. Any specific guidance or instruction from the Government is liable to change and you should check the relevant websites listed on this page.

If you need any further support on any aspect of risk management, you can contact Bureau Veritas on 0345 600 1828. Or, if you are an existing Bureau Veritas client, your usual contacts are also available to answer any specific questions.

We have built a number of bespoke remote services to support your business manage health, safety and risk during this challenging time:

Hygiene, Sanitary, Certification, Bio safety

BIOSAFETY CERTIFICATION

Workplaces remain at risk from an outbreak of infectious disease. Drawing on experiences from COVID-19, Bureau Veritas has developed Biosafety Certification - taking a management systems approach to implement sanitary measures that reduce the risk of contamination and ensure a safe working environment for employees, customers and visitors.

The standard for Biosafety Certification has been developed by experts in health and safety certification from the Bureau Veritas team, applying the latest guidance in infectious disease risk management strategies.

REMOTE WORKer ASSESSMENT

With current guidelines for non-essential workers to work from home to prevent the spread of COVID-19, organisations retain a duty of care to ensure that, far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of employees are protected. This includes display equipment, keyboard and mouse quality.

To support our clients in meeting that duty of care, Bureau Veritas has developed a comprehensive Remote Worker Assessment, available via video link from a member of our renowned health and safety team.
