Transport legal firm Backhouse Jones has published an update for employers on the coronavirus.
The PDF document, which was updated on 4 March, can be found at https://www.backhousejones.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Coronavirus-update-4.3.20-Update-re-ssp-PDF.pdf
Backhouse Jones says: “There is lots of information in the press at the moment regarding Coronavirus and whilst this is useful, as an employer in the transport sector, it can be difficult to know what is relevant to you and what to do next.
“We have therefore drafted an update which looks at three key areas we feel are naturally intertwined and which we are getting the most questions on from clients:
• your health and safety duties as an employer;
• the situation if this means there is less work to give your employees; and
• your starting point as regards the businesses with whom you contract.”
