Free rapid Covid home testing kits will be available to workers who cannot work from home in Wales from this Friday.
Welsh Government said lateral flow tests will be available to be picked up from local Covid-19 test sites.
Officials said they were also looking at making other locations available to collect self-test kits, as well as posting them out to individual homes.
Ben Francis, FSB Wales Policy Chair, said: “As we begin to reopen the economy in Wales this news will boost the confidence of customers, employers, and employees, and will help to ensure that reopening is successful as we continue to move through the process.
“it will be important that these tests are easily accessible, and that proper communication is undertaken with employees and employers about how this scheme will work.
"Testing will be one part of the toolkit that will get Wales’ economy back up and running and this, alongside vaccination, will go some way to reinstalling confidence in workplaces and the economy.
“There will also need to be a longer-term conversation about the role that testing will play in reopening more workplaces when conditions allow, and this is something that FSB Wales will seek to work with the next Welsh Government on.”
It is hoped that improving the availability of lateral flow tests will make regular asymptomatic testing for coronavirus more convenient and accessible for people not covered under existing schemes at workplaces, childcare settings, schools, colleges and universities.
As many as 1 in 3 people may have COVID without displaying symptoms which means asymptomatic testing is an important means to keep people safe as restrictions are gradually eased.
At each testing site people will be able to collect the rapid lateral flow tests between 8am and 1pm. They will not need to make an appointment before collection. Sites will close for a deep clean and re-open for symptomatic PCR testing between 2pm and 8pm each day.
Each person will routinely be able to collect two packs of seven LFD self-test kits for home use. It is recommended that tests are undertaken twice a week with the results recorded on the UK Government portal.
A similar scheme started in England last Friday.
Health Minister Vaughan Gething said: "It is important that testing is made as convenient and accessible as possible. We are especially keen for self-test kits to be used by people who cannot work from home so they can undertake regular testing. This will help to keep them and their families safe.
"We know that up to one in three people who have coronavirus have no symptoms at all and can therefore spread it unknowingly. As we continue to ease restrictions, the routine testing of asymptomatic people will be imperative in our battle against the virus."
