All drivers must have access to welfare facilities in the premises they visit as part of their day to day work activities.
There have been several reports that some drivers are not being allowed to use welfare facilities when they arrive on site.
Forbidding access is against the law. With the latest advice for hands to be washed regularly, failure to allow access to welfare facilities may increase the risk of COVID-19 spreading.
Companies who already provide reasonable access to toilets and handwashing facilities should continue to do so.
