Vulnerable Staff with underlying health conditions.

The staff that are deemed ‘vulnerable’ will have been contacted by the NHS. Employers are advised to review government guidance on ‘vulnerable staff’. Where possible, home or remote working should be advocated for these staff. Staff living with ‘vulnerable patients’ should be assessed with a view to the possible impact on vulnerable patients due to the increased potential risk of their return to work.

Potential At-Risk Staff

Staff who have spouses or family working within the NHS or frontline care services are statistically more likely to become infected and as a result, potentially become carriers within your organisation. A risk assessment of their personal circumstances should be undertaken before their return to work.
