Updated Manufacturing Sector Guidance (28th June 2021)


The Scottish Government has updated their coronavirus manufacturing sector guidance, and a link to the updated Guidance and Operational Checklist can be found here.

The following sections have been updated:

  • Overview, Where We Are Now, Ventilation, Information for People on the Shielding List, Working from Home, Test & Protect, Vaccination, Outbreak Management, Enhanced Hygiene, Face Coverings, Work Cohorts/ Bubbles, Communal Areas and Congestion Points, Car & Vehicle Sharing.

The updates reflect the changing guidance as Scotland starts to move down the COVID-19 Protection levels, re-enforcing best practice and includes new sections with additional guidance worth noting on:

  • Ventilation – the provision of fresh air into indoor environments to prevent the spread of COVID-19
  • Vaccination – encouraging employers to support workers to attend for vaccination when advised to do so, without any financial detriment.

As always, if you have any questions, you can contact the team on 0141 221 3181, thank you.
