Coronavirus: latest information and advice Are you and your workers looking for information on the latest UK government measures around coronavirus? See the latest guidance from HSE on how to protect your employees during the COVID-19 outbreak.   If you employ people, the guidance for employers and business on GOV.UK will help you and your workers prevent the spread of COVID-19.   You can get up-to-date information about the situation in the UK and guidance for the public on the risk from coronavirus on the government's website. Access to workplace facilities for drivers is a must All drivers must have access to welfare facilities in the premises they visit as part of their work. You are breaking the law if you refuse access to your toilets and hand-washing facilities for visiting drivers delivering to your work premises. This will put drivers and others at risk.   Help tackle the spread of coronavirus by providing the right facilities for drivers.   Find out more about arrangements for driver welfare. Fit testing face masks to protect those wearing them A face fit test will ensure that respiratory protective equipment (RPE) will protect the wearer. Tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment (RPE) relies on having a good seal with the wearer's face.   Read our guidance on face fit testing. This includes potential contact points and actions the fit tester should take. It also explains how users of face masks can minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission.   Our website also has a new downloadable poster showing how to use disposable respirators.
