    WHAT CAN BE READY IN ADVANCE

    A better working day.
    No explanation attached.

    Build in options that more people can benefit from. Talk with employees about working conditions, without asking them to explain their private health.

    Air, light and temperature

    Look at ventilation, shading and options for local adjustments. Where it is safe, a cooler spot or a fan may be an option. One setting will not necessarily suit everyone.

    Water, toilets and breaks

    Make it possible to drink, use the toilet and take a break even when the pace is high. Arrange cover where someone has to stay at a station, counter or process.

    Clothing, changing and equipment

    Consider suitable clothing, sizes and a discreet place to change. Changes to protective equipment must still give the protection needed.

    Quiet and work organisation

    Look at noise, meeting length and options for varying tasks. A quieter place or more flexibility can help where the work allows it.

    KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE

    Can the break actually be taken? Is the toilet accessible? Are ventilation faults followed up? Ask whether the arrangement works. Avoid turning such a check into a survey of who has symptoms.

    Some people need more individual support. Keep a confidential route to a manager or the occupational health service, with clear handling of information. General measures should make help easier to get, not close that door.

    Guidance: ISO 45010, especially clauses 5.2, 5.5 and 5.6. These are our examples; measures must fit the work and the risk.
