Workplace safety systems for staying open or reopening during the pandemic

This episode asks how environment, health and safety systems can help organisations keep operating during the coronavirus pandemic, or restart after being forced to close. With the situation expected to last a long time, such systems are presented as essential for protecting workers and keeping the business running.

The conversation includes an observation about an unintended consequence of safety measures: requiring staff to wear face masks can itself create a new hazard in the workplace. A short audio question about why sustainability matters for supply chains is also part of the programme.
