Reduced staffing levels checklist

With hybrid working becoming a more established working pattern, particularly for office-based workers, you need to consider the implications of fewer staff in the office on safety-critical roles, tasks and inspections. To ensure that you’ve covered the key points, use our checklist.

Why is this important?

When the pandemic abruptly altered normal working routines, a certain amount of leeway was granted by enforcing authorities when it came to health and safety management systems. However, you now need to make sure that your usual systems, such as first aid cover, fire system maintenance, and health and safety performance reviews, are back to pre-pandemic levels and you are not leaving your business exposed to compliance breaches or failures of safety-critical practices. Our Reduced Staffing Levels Checklist is easy to follow and covers the majority of workplaces. Delete anything that is not applicable to your business and tailor it to your needs.
