Wealden District Council is offering advise to businesses about how to comply with the current Coronavirus restrictions and what to do before re-opening.

 

Business may only re open if they are allowed by law to do so. A full list is available on our website at https://wealdengovuk.azurewebsites.net/safe-food-and-healthy-workplaces/

 

If a business is legally allowed to open they must be “Covid Secure”, to prepare for this they should prepare a risk assessment.

Where a business employs less than five people the risk assessment doesn’t have to be written down.

HM Government have provided full advice, some weblinks below.
