Returning to the workplace

To help employees get back to work safely, companies must implement specific health and safety recommendations designed both to safeguard their employees’ well-being as well as to reduce the risk of new coronavirus outbreaks. Basically, companies are required to provide hand sanitizer to their employees, to enforce social distancing measures, to postpone non-essential business travel for their employees, to favor video-conferencing and teleconferencing, and to set up workstations and canteens which must respect a minimum distance of one meter between employees. In addition to these general recommendations, each company must, if necessary, with the help of the occupational physician, assess risks of contamination for its employees, by taking into consideration its specific work environment and activities.
