WHAT’S NEW?
BARBOUR ASSISTS WITH STAYING COMPLIANT WHEN
REOPENING PREMISES A rigorous cleaning strategy is required in the wake of COVID-19, if premises are to open safely. Now, everything from bar tops to train carriages are being scrubbed clean after every use to limit the spread of the virus.
The Coronavirus can transfer from people to surfaces, and from surfaces to people. Since some people can be asymptomatic carriers of the disease, and others who display symptoms will unfortunately not follow stay-at-home guidance, there is a substantial risk to workers who come into contact with a contaminated surface. They may catch the virus and pass it on to more vulnerable people.
The duty of care employers have for their staff and their customers is greater than ever, but do you know how far your legal responsibilities extend when it comes to cleaning?
With a seemingly unending array of documents detailing your legal responsibilities in this ‘new normal’, finding the legislation most relevant to you can be an enormous challenge. But effective and compliant cleaning practices are essential to reopening your premises and getting your business moving again, so wading through the legislative swamp can be the difference between success and failure.
That’s where Barbour comes in: we’ve compiled all the most important information, guidance and legislation in one place, so you can remain compliant and reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission in these uncertain and fast-moving times. Our collection of documents provides all the legal information you need, but, more importantly, gives you practical information on exactly what you need to do to stay compliant.
Although organisations like the HSE do provide plenty of essential information, it can be a slog to search through, particularly if you’re new to legislation and aren’t sure exactly which documents are relevant to your business. In addition, events surrounding the pandemic have

moved so quickly that it can be easy to miss the latest updates—if you’re not careful, you might find yourself complying with legislation that’s already out of date.
Barbour helps you remain compliant by making it easy to find the relevant documentation. Barbour’s centralised source includes everything from health and safety policies and risk assessments, HSE guidance on cleaning your workplace to reduce risk, information about cleaning in non-healthcare settings and many, many more useful documents for facilities managers.
It also gives you the tools and guidance to perform cleaning risk assessments and keep your staff informed about the risks and solutions available to them. You’ll find templates
The health and wellbeing of UK workers, from manual labourers to office workers, depends more than ever on facilities managers and cleaners. Reopening premises and getting the UK economy moving can only take place if FMs are aware of their responsibilities and have the tools and know-how to comply with strict regulations. But with the law changing rapidly to meet new challenges and an evolving understanding of COVID-19, staying compliant is tougher than ever.
Barbour is the easiest way to stay compliant and ensure the safety of your workers and customers during the pandemic.
