I know that it's an offence for an employer to knowingly send an employee into a situation or undertake a task that could be a risk to their health and/or safety.

I'm surprised that none of the healthcare workers or their trade union representatives have brought this up with regards to the lack of PPE.

Maybe Government operations are exempt from this Act? ISTR that hospital kitchens were exempt from hygiene checks, but this was eventually remedied.
