The FM’s Guide to Reopening Your Workplace sets out the key areas that businesses need to consider as they embark on this seismic change. Freely available from www.atalianservest.co.uk, the publication includes the options for gradual reoccupation including how to determine a building’s capacity with social distancing in mind and  introducing new ways of helping people move around the building safely while adhering to the 2 metre rule.

From welcoming visitors and new front-of-house and security procedures to new cleaning regimes, staff catering options, maintenance regimes and emergency evacuation protocols, the guide sets out all the areas that a facilities professional needs to consider.

There is also a section on how to communicate these changes effectively and advice on working with other partners and departments to manage this process.
