The UK Government, in consultation with industry, has produced guidance for business to help ensure workplaces in England are as safe as possible during the coronavirus pandemic. Over the next two weeks the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is holding a series of sector-specific webinars for businesses which focus on making workplaces Covid-Secure.

The webinars cover a range of different types of workplace settings which are allowed to be open.
