Pandemic Policy Statement

%The_Company% is committed to ensuring full compliance with all legislative and local regulations during a pandemic event. To meet this commitment, %The_Company% will provide additional protection during a pandemic for all staff, contractors, visitors and members of the public at this or any other company-controlled workplace.

This is to be achieved through commitments to:

• Consultation between management, employees, elected representatives, staff members and government bodies throughout the event
• Ensuring we have a plan in place and that people know what to do
• Assigning a Pandemic Manager to oversee the situation and be a main point of contact
• Restricting travel, based on government advice
• Communicating with all interested parties throughout the event
• Having the resources in place so that staff may work from home, where appropriate
• Providing information and advice to staff and regulatory groups, on request
• Liaising nationally with, and advising, other industry experts, if required
• Ensuring all staff who must work during an event have the resources/information to do so safely:
  • PPE will be provided
  • Clean working environments will be maintained
  • Access to sanitising agents will be available
  • Discussions will be held around social distancing
  • Staff will be instructed to advise management immediately if they or someone they are in close contact with become sick and told not to come to work
• Having signs up for any visitors informing them of any restrictions or requirements e.g., hand sanitiser use on entry into reception
  Limiting all unnecessary contact if required
• Controlling any (sub)contractors by communicating constantly with them around requirements and advising them not to work if the situation requires it
• Ensuring that all pandemic event objectives are to:
  • Prevent or delay the spread of pandemic influenza
  • Promote and support staff during this time
  • Protect the health and wellbeing of staff
  • Maintain the provision of essential services
  • Maintain timely and appropriate reporting and communication
