Dear Colleague,

CORONAVIRUS - COVID-19 PANDEMIC
RMT GUIDANCE IN RELATION TO THE REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS

I write in relation to the coronavirus pandemic and the UK Government’s decision in February to remove all Covid-19 protections in England, with many protections lifted also in the devolved nations.

Please find here https://bit.ly/3HE9h9G updated guidance for RMT health and safety representatives, which includes information on employer’s duty under health and safety legislation to consult with trade union safety representatives to ensure that the workplace is safe.

This guidance has been sent separately to all RMT safety reps.

Please bring the contents of this circular to the attention of relevant members.

Yours sincerely

Michael Lynch
General Secretary
