VSG COVID-19 Recovery Planning Guidance Published
This guidance seeks to cover the key areas all landowners and countryside managers will need to consider and assess when re-opening and managing outdoor public access sites / attractions and associated indoor spaces during COVID-19.
The guidance should be underpinned by the regulations, guidance and advice from the relevant Government.
Given the impact of COVID-19 on the sector, VSG has decided to make this guidance FREE FOR DISTRIBUTION so please share with industry counterparts.
VSG Historic Built Environment Publication
The guiding principles and practical risk management techniques covered in this book have been developed and implemented by our members over many years. In this publication VSG show how the principles can be specifically applied in the historic built environment. This is defined as buildings, monuments, archaeological remains, other man-made structures and designed parks and gardens that are historic places of significance.
Our fundamental aim is to identify and promote ways to manage visitor safety that sustain the heritage significance and value to society of historic places. The book does not advise on occupational health and safety in the workplace or the requirements of equality and discrimination legislation, as these are well covered elsewhere.
