Practical Guidance for Working Safely During Covid-19

Guidance from the Department for the Economy and Tourism Northern Ireland for safe working during Covid-19.

As Northern Ireland’s tourism and hospitality businesses begin to plan to reopen as part of the NI Executive’s Roadmap to Recovery, we’ve worked with the Department for Economy, other NI Executive Departments, PHA, HSENI and industry sectoral groups through the NI Recovery working group to bring you the key requirements that need to be undertaken to deliver your businesses safely in the COVID-19 pandemic.

A diverse set of businesses and services come together to deliver Northern Ireland’s Visitor Economy. Therefore, an overarching piece of guidance ‘Working safely during COVID-19 in the Visitor Economy sector’ has been prepared for the sector as a whole. The guidance provides key considerations that each business will need to translate into specific actions for its own unique circumstances.

Further sectoral guidance has been prepared by NI Executive Departments. In addition to this, a wide range of best practise advice has been made available by sectoral organisations and groups. Links to these have been provided in the sectoral guidance sections below.

We understand there is a lot of information for businesses to consider in preparing to re-open, so in additional to this guidance set, a series of webinars will also be delivered to assist you in understanding the guidance and taking steps to apply it to your business operations.
