Review common work areas such as canteens, clock in areas and ensure you have plexiglass shields, desk screens or tables or other barriers to block airborne particles and ensure minimum distances in the workplace.

Consider desk layouts and employee seating plans that will require desk screens, plexiglass shields or desk dividers.

Sharing equipment and supplies should be limited and physical barriers introduced to these areas.

Safety Barriers & Crowd Control

Encouraging good social distancing techniques, and educating staff and customers by utilising simple crowd control solutions is paramount.

Cleaning protocols will need to be managed carefully- identification of contact points and consider removing unnecessary items especially in common areas- Reception, Canteen and Bathroom facilities. Routinely clean all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops, and door handles.

Disposable wipes can be used so that commonly used surfaces (for example, doorknobs, keyboards, remote controls, desks) can be wiped down by workers.

We have a full range of Cleaning Supplies and Surface Disinfectants to choose from.

Bins & Refuse Management
Waste volumes will increase because of higher use of personal protective equipment (PPEs) such as gloves, face masks and other materials including paper tissues. To manage waste volumes, an adequate volume of waste bins should be available in the workplace, if possible, at every individual desk or commom area.
Provide tissues and waste bins lined with a plastic bags so that they can be emptied without contacting the contents.
Pedal-operated waste collection bins can be used, so that a 'no touch' with hands rule applies. In the absence of pedal-operated waste bins, bins with swinging lids can be opted as the alternative. Otherwise, open waste containers are better than those which require physical opening/touching with hands. Colour-coded waste segregation bins are also available. Waste bin liners should also be considered for every bin present.

Empty bins regularly and provide advice on good respiratory practice.
