LONDON 4 May (ANA) - A ban on hot desking and employee "health passports" are amongst the measures being considered by the Government to get Britain back to work.

Draft Whitehall documents propose closing office lifts and canteens and putting tape on the floor to mark where people should stand.

Extra cleaning should be introduced in office spaces and the use of protective equipment should be considered where maintaining a distance of two metres between workers is not possible.

Customer-facing employees could be guarded by plastic screens, while continued home working and staggered shifts should also be encouraged, the guidance says.

The proposals by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) are among a list of guidelines in seven documents drawn up after consultation with executives, trade bodies and unions.(ANA)
