The government has now published a document on Coronavirus safety in the workplace.

We are hearing of estate agency firms that are taking staff off furlough and bringing at least some of their teams back in to work. Some have been operating skeleton staff throughout the crisis.

The safety arrangements in some cases appear questionable.

While offices remain closed to the public there are still many issues to be addressed in connection with maintaining a safe environment for staff members.

Has a risk assessment been carried out and published for staff to read?

What distancing arrangements are in place?

Has guidance been issued by the firm about procedures for use of kitchen facilities?

Is there a requirement for face masks to be worn – and are they being provided for staff use?

We want to hear from staff who are back in their estate agency offices about how your safety is being treated by your employer.

Let us know if you think everything is fine or if you feel that the safety of you or your colleagues is being compromised in any way.

All information will be treated in strict confidence. news@propertyindustryeye.com
