risk of COVID-19 in the workplace, including any variations between the four nations
of the UK.</p><p> </p><p>In England, the BEIS ‘Working Safely during coronavirus (COVID-19)’
guidance provides sensible precautions employers can take to manage risk and support
their staff. The guidance is available via this link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-covid-19/offices-factories-and-labs#offices-7-2"

</p><p>It is for individual employers to determine which mitigations are appropriate
to adopt as they review their workplace risk assessments in light of the updated guidance.

could adopt if the situation / context warranted it.</p><p> </p><p>The MoJ fully supports
