This business has made this sink COVID-secure by installing a screen so that multiple workers can wash their hands at the same time. HSE is looking for good practice like this during spot inspections on the transport and logistics industry. https://bit.ly/33bdLmP

How often do you look away from your screen? And I don't mean from one screen to another! Make sure you take regular eye breaks - look away and blink your eyes for a few seconds 👀 https://buff.ly/3oRxIIg #wellbeingatwork #workingfromhome #staysafe
