This UK Government guidance outlines how indoor labs and research facilities can operate safely during COVID-19. It covers priority actions, legal duties and practical controls, including COVID-19 risk assessments, social distancing, fixed teams and shift patterns, ventilation, hygiene and cleaning protocols, managing visitors and contractors, workstation layout, meetings and common areas, PPE and face coverings, incident response, inbound and outbound goods and workforce testing. It applies to environments such as wet labs, clean rooms, prototyping and material development labs, computer labs, simulators, wind tunnels and specialist testing rooms. The guidance was updated on May 17, 2021 and should be applied alongside local public health requirements.
