Coronavirus (COVID-19): guidance for laboratories and research facilities: BRIA

Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment (BRIA) for the introduction of, and subsequent 3 weekly reviews of, the COVID-19 Scottish Government (SG) Guidance for laboratories and research facilities (published 29 June 2020).


Summary and recommendation

It is essential that the SG provides full consideration to this measure to re-open labs and research facilities with the provisions noted. The SG COVID-19 guidance for labs and research facilities has been created by a working group of experts from industry, government, trade unions and agencies, who will continue to provide feedback on their practical experience of the guidance. The guidance which contains clarifications of the route map will evolve as we progress through the route map out of lockdown and ensure a consistent, informed and safe approach is taken by all those working in labs and research facilities across Scotland.

We therefore recommend that the guidance is reviewed at regular 3 weekly intervals.
