Members to learn how to conquer workplace risks posed by COVID-19 in November webinar

Last Updated on 01/04/2022 by

The British Healthcare Trades Association is hosting its second ‘BHTA presents’ webinar in mid-November, providing members with the knowledge to overcome the new workplace risks posed by COVID-19.

Taking place on the 16th November 2021 at 11am, the free one-hour webinar entitled ‘Conquering your workplace challenges posed by COVID-19’ will be held in partnership with Verlingue UK.

COVID-19 has led to businesses transforming how they operate, and how and where employees work. The rise in working from home, the return of people to offices and on the road, and the adoption of hybrid models, have created new and unique challenges that businesses must comprehend and conquer.

This webinar will provide you with an understanding of workplace issues created by COVID-19 and how you can manage and overcome them. You will receive expert advice covering risk assessments, working from home and the importance of communication, and the all-important audit trail.

In addition, you will discover how you might protect yourself and your business from COVID-19 liability (or any other) claims.

The session will cover:


• The new issues for companies brought about by COVID-19. The impact on the workplace and how you can address them
• Risk assessments, working from home and the importance of communication and the audit trail. The spot checks!
• Mental health, people’s perceptions and how the pandemic has left us
• To understand how COVID19 liability (or any other) claims might arise and how you might protect yourself and your business from these

The session will be delivered by Simon Cutmore, Director of Risk Management at Verlingue UK. Having worked in risk management for nearly twenty years, Simon’s experience includes devising one of the first trend analysis tools for motor fleets, and specialising in the management of complex insurance claims.

He now regularly delivers seminars/webinars on everything from toolbox talks direct to fleet drivers to return to work following COVID and claims defensibility on employers and public liability claims.
