With an aim of reducing Covid-19 infections and keeping businesses open and people at work, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) are doing research as part of a set of government-funded National Core Studies. The survey will evaluate the number of Covid-19 infections among workers in the food sector and help understand the potential for transmission of infection, and inform options for risk reduction.

The BFFF supports this project. The research team is inviting individual food processing companies to complete a survey online.

The research team have prepared a short (10 minute) survey to evaluate how many cases of COVID-19 have occurred across a wide range of workplaces. Companies will then be invited to take part in some more in-depth case studies and research with their facilities, but this is optional. The results will only be used for research purposes, and neither individuals nor any workplace will be publicly identified in any reporting of results. When complete, you will receive a report summarising our findings.
