Regulation 16(6)(b)

A COVID-ready Workplace Plan must be developed prior to the reopening of an enterprise employing persons or serving the public.

2.	The timetable setting out the phased return-to-work of employees, to enable appropriate measures to be taken to avoid and reduce the spread of the virus in the workplace:

3.	The steps taken to get the workplace COVID-19 ready;

4.	A list of staff who can work from home; staff who are 60 years or older; and staff with comorbidities who will be required to stay at home or work from home:

(a)	sanitary and social distancing measures and facilities at the entrance and exit to the workplace;
