Health And Safety In The Aftermath Of Flooding 

Health And Safety In The Aftermath Of Flooding 
In light of the flooding that has taken place in parts of England, Wales and Scotland, the TUC has revised and republished its advice on flooding. This is attached. 
For many workplaces affected by flooding, staff will be returning to work. It is important that the recovery is handled as safely and effectively as possible so as not to create more risk. In previous floods people have been killed by asphyxiation caused by using inappropriate petrol or diesel generators or heaters indoors. 
The Guidance is attached it is also available on the TUC website, and in pdf format at:
