Safe Management Measures at the Workplace from 5th April 2021

Answer
Starting from 5th April 2021, more employees who are currently working from home will be able to return to the workplace.

Q: 
What is the number of staff can return to workplace?
A: Up to 75 per cent of staff can return to the workplace at any one time. Employers must enable vulnerable employees to work from home, allow them to travel to/from work at off-peak timings.
The current restrictions requiring employees to work from home for at least half their working time will also be lifted.

Q:
Is company still have to maintain split team?
A:
Split-team arrangements are no longer mandatory.
However, employer must ensure stagger working and break hours to reduce possible congregation of employees at all common spaces.
Avoid peak-hour travel - Encourage staggered start times for all employees such that at least half of all employees start work in the workplace after 10am, as far as possible. If physical meetings are needed, encourage them to be scheduled after 10 am.

Q:
What is the requirements for work-related events?
A:
All work-related events that proceed must adhere to prevailing workplace Safe Management Measures and are subjected to the following requirements:
1.
The number of persons per event must be capped at 50 persons to limit the risk of exposure to infection.
2.
Attendees must maintain at least 1 metre safe distancing between individual attendees, as per the requirement at the workplace.
3.
Meals should not be the main feature of the event. Employers should also avoid holding events over mealtimes as far as possible. Food or drinks should only be served if incidental to the workplace event (e.g. the meeting or conference extends over lunchtime). In addition, the food must be served individually with the participants seated while consuming. Participants should minimise the time that they are unmasked while eating.
Social and recreational gatherings at the workplace, such as team bonding events organised by employers, will be allowed, but must be limited to no more than eight people.
