Hi Gillian

I think it is about taking a risk assessment approach so you may find the attached document useful, particularly appendix 1.

Does anybody look after staff of the Coroners office? 

I am interested in if you would advise the coroners staff to wear gloves when attending deceased body viewing with relatives.  Some relatives tend to hug and touch the deceased and then shake hands/ hug touch with the staff member.  With our diverse society some relatives or friends could be unkempt or have infectious medical conditions  – as the deceased if its for the initial identification.

Interested in anybody’s thoughts
