Product catalog summary

Introduction: On 11th May 2020, the UK Government released new guidelines for businesses to operate safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Coveris Flexibles UK Ltd. has implemented these guidelines to ensure a 'COVID secure' environment across its manufacturing sites.

Risk Assessment: Coveris conducted detailed risk assessments at each UK site, resulting in a risk score of 3.5 on a scale of 1 to 12, indicating a low risk level. The primary focus is on protecting employee health and well-being by adhering to government and health authority guidelines.

Safety Measures in Production Facilities: Production and distribution facilities have adjusted operations to prioritize safety. Measures include enhanced cleaning routines, restricted visitor access, split shifts to avoid contact, and daily temperature screenings with track and trace logs. Hygiene and social distancing are emphasized, with physical screens or PPE used where distancing is not possible.

Office Safety: Most office-based employees were initially asked to work remotely. Facilities have been prepared for their return with controlled occupancy and enhanced hygiene protocols. Returning employees receive briefings on safety measures.

Business Travel Restrictions: Most UK business travel is suspended, with separate risk assessments conducted for necessary visits to customer or supplier premises.

COVID-19 UK Site Risk Assessment and Results-1

HIGH PERFORMANCE PACKAGING On 11th May 2020 the UK Government issued new guidance for employers to help get their businesses back up and running and workplaces operating safely. Developed in consultation with approximately 250 businesses, unions, industry leaders, Public Health England (PHE) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the new ‘COVID-19 secure’ guidelines are a best practice guide to the safest ways of working across the economy. Having remained fully operational across all manufacturing sites during the COVID-19 crisis, Coveris took comprehensive steps to make our workplaces COVID-19 free in March. Since then over 2,000 colleagues have continued to work in our plants, and the success of this approach is reflected in our low infection and self-isolation rates. Our risk plan is summarised as follows: Hierarchy of Control Coveris Risk Plan Personal protection, quarantine and deep clean *PP£ for task and avanta whara racial distancing la not poaaibia * Thota that davaiop symptoms at work wt can accurately Identify and quarantine all colleagues, machinery, work stations, product and raw materials which might have bean espose to the virus. * Deep-clean decontamination _process_ We have conducted detailed risk assessments at each of our UK sites and have used these to drive a range of safety actions to ensure a ‘COVID secure’ working environment. Overall Risk Rating: On a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 12 (highest risk), our risk assessment score is 3.5. Protecting employee health and well-being: The safety of Coveris employees is our highest priority. Across the UK, local teams have closely followed guidance from health authorities and government to protect the health and safety of employees across offices, production, and distribution facilities.
