Employers and employees should always practice good personal hygiene measures – so says the Health and Safety Executive in its swine flu advice.
Use a disposable tissue to control coughs/sneezes, dispose of it appropriately and wash your hands before eating, drinking etc. In addition at the current time you should:
Advise your staff to stay at home if they are sick with flu-like symptoms and have good reason to believe, based on HPA guidance, that they may have been exposed to the swine flu virus
Send home any employees who are displaying flu-like signs/symptoms. For further information about swine flu – visit the HSE website –
