Long Covid – Return to work risk assessments

The TUC recently launched a report on long covid, calling for it to be recognised as a disability.  Amongst other issues the report highlights the need to ensure that workers with long covid who are able to  return to work have return to work risk assessments.
 
UNISON’s updated bargaining guidance contains information on long covid and again highlights the need for risk assessments to support members returning to work.  Safety reps should be involved in discussions around the safety of members returning to work with long covid.
