This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular we're not sure if you're asking for more research into the use of masks, or if you want employers to carry out risk assessments for employees required to wear them.
Employers already have a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act, and are required to carry out risk assessments by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. You can find more information here: https://www.hse.gov.uk/involvement/riskassessments.htm
