Mask wearing in offices - update for 80%

Under the updated NSW Government roadmap the requirement to wear a mask in office buildings, for those who are fully vaccinated, has been removed at the 80 per cent double vaccination milestone. This means that from Monday 18 October the rules around wearing masks in our offices have changed.

While our advice remains to continue to work from home if you can, if you do need to attend one of our offices and are fully vaccinated, mask wearing will no longer be mandatory, however we do encourage you to continue to wear a mask, especially in situations where physical distancing may be difficult to maintain.

If you are a fully vaccinated person attending a Transport office and choose to no longer wear a mask you will need to show your manager proof of your vaccination status, this can be done by showing your vaccination certificate or an immunisation statement.

Mask wearing remains mandatory in certain instances:

• On all public transport services and waiting areas.
• In offices if you need to attend and are not fully vaccinated eg your job cannot be done from home.
• At critical Transport sites including signal boxes and at the Rail Operations Centre there are specific mask wearing instructions to be followed. If you work in one of these sites you will be made aware of the requirements.
