Workplaces lifting lockdown: When it will happen and the rules you will need to follow

Some workplaces are expected to reopen in the coming weeks as the Government introduces the first motions to ease lockdown in Scotland.

The Scottish Government's road map out of lockdown lays out what workers can expect in the weeks to come as lockdown measures begin to ease.

Since lockdown came into force, a number of workplaces have been closed.

In the phase 1 of the Government's four-step road map out of lockdown, remote working will continue wherever possible.

Non-essential outdoor workplaces will also be reopened with physical distancing measures put in place.

Additionally, construction work will also slowly be restarted, with phases 0-2 of the construction industry restart plan implemented.

In phase 2 of the Government's road map, remote working will still be in place as much as possible.

Non-office indoor work will also resume, including factories, warehouses and labs.

The construction industry will implement its final phase of returning to work.

By phase 3, non-essential office work will resume, including in contact centres. However, remote working will remain in place.

The final phase of the lockdown will see all businesses and workplaces reopened, however flexible working will still remain in place.

The First Minister is expected to release further details at her lunchtime briefing on Thursday.
