Lockdown 3.0
As part of the key workers and national infra structure Lifeline are continuing to operate as near normal as possible, with a few exceptions. Lifeline will continue to follow all ‘WHO’ (World Health Organisation) and Government Advice & Guidelines.
Security & Fire safety personnel continue to remain Key Workers
In March 2020 Ian Moore, CEO of the Fire Industry Association, was informed by James Brokenshire, Minister of State for Security at the Home Office, that “security & fire safety personnel can play a vital role at this time of national challenge. People working in these sectors who are essential to national infrastructure are “Key Workers” for the purposes of the Government’s guidance on COVID-19.” This position still remains in place.
