Why have Spot Checks?

The spot checks are designed to help stop variants of COVID-19 spreading. The HSE will target areas where transmission rates are rising, but will also randomly spot check around England, Scotland and Wales.

Officers from the HSE or affiliate partners will be carrying identification and a letter of authorisation from the HSE. The visit usually succeeds a call from the organisation. They will check proportionate steps should have been undertaken, however if the COVID measure are not up to standard, they will issue guidance or, in some cases, take action. This may include forced closure, enforcement notices or prosecution where a business fails to comply.
