This week (March 20th-26th) is the Covid Pledge Week of Action. The Covid Pledge (see covidpledge.uk) is a commitment by employers to improve the safety of their premises for employees and customers #CovidPledgeAction #CovidSafetyPledge (1/7)
In particular, it involves a commitment to assess Covid risks on their premises, where necessary to introduce protections (especially good ventilation) and to support staff in staying at home if infected #CovidPledgeAction #CovidSafetyPledge (2/7).
The pledge is sponsored by a host of community organisations (e.g. Clinically Vulnerable Families), professional organisations (e.g. British Medical Association) and Trades Unions (from ASLEF to UNITE) #CovidPledgeAction #CovidSafetyPledge (3/7)
It has been signed up to by a growing list of employers – public sector and private sector, local and national – and has led to serious improvements in the quality of environments and sick leave provision

The Pledge is already making a difference, making life safer for workers and – when signatories display the Pledge – letting the public know who is taking their safety seriously. Let’s use this Week of Action to increase the number of signatories #CovidSafetyPledge (5/7)
Over the Week of Action we will be posting daily tweets explaining why the Pledge remains so important, providing examples of its use and explaining in more detail what YOU can do to support the pledge #CovidPledgeAction #CovidSafetyPledge (6/7)
So: follow us, retweet our messages, & even if the Govt. wants to pretend that Covid has gone away, that good air quality and decent sickness don’t matter, let’s show that together we can make a difference! #CovidPledgeAction #CovidSafetyPledge (7/7)
SUPPORT THE COVID PLEDGE!
