Making your workplace safe and healthy

Healthy Working Lives (HWL) offers free information and support on a full range of workplace safety, wellbeing and occupational healthrelated topics, from online modules and face-to-face training to templates and resources.

HWL has put together a page of information and advice for employers, employees and businesses during the coronavirus outbreak, which can be accessed here: www.healthyworkinglives.scot/workplace-guidance/illnessabsence/Pages/coronavirus-guidance-for-employers.aspx

The HWL Adviceline is staffed by expert advisers who can give you practical support to help you meet compliance standards and deliver best practice within your organisation. This could include advice on: developing your health and safety policy or risk assessments; implementing a drug and alcohol policy; challenging issues such as bullying and harassment; or supporting staff attendance and managing health conditions within your workplace.

HWL also runs an award programme, supporting you to put in place a structure of health and support for your employees. If you are currently working towards our HWL award and want to know what changes are in place due to the coronavirus, please access our Question and Answer sheet at https://eportfolio.healthyworkinglives.com/news.aspx
