As an array of new hygiene methods are being recommended to businesses, our member, TWC, are on hand to support you with getting back to work. Find out more about some of the measures you can take to prepare and maintain your workplace.
As businesses re-open and workplaces start looking towards returning to some degree of normal operation, there looks to be an array of new and enhanced hygiene measures being recommended to ensure the health and safety of employees, customers and the general public alike.
For some places of work the changes could be substantial with the introduction of a range of physical barriers, in addition to the less visible procedural and chemical barriers being used. All these measures are in addition to the required 2-metre distancing that has now been in place for some weeks.
The most common physical barriers already in use include PPE and shields, such as the screens we are now getting accustomed to seeing in grocery stores and supermarkets. Other less obvious measures being suggested includes the use of time, both in the sense of keeping any time spent within the 2 metre distancing zone to a minimum if it is essential, and also adjusting work schedules and rotas to reduce the number of employees in a workplace at any given time.
