The amended and consolidated directive on occupational health and safety measures in certain workplaces was published on 11 June 2021.
IMPORTANT: Employers must undertake a risk assessment within 21 days of the new directives coming into effect (11 June) and decide whether, and to what extent vaccinations will be made mandatory in the workplace.
In terms of previous COVID-19 directives, employers were already obliged to draw up Return to Work Plans (“RTW Plan”). SEESA assisted its clients by providing templates that could easily be adjusted to fit any business.
With the latest COVID-19 directive the scope of these RTW Plans has been expanded to also include and regulate the employer’s vaccination policy.
Please note that templates of all relevant documentation are again available on SEESA ProFile.
