Back to work
Behaviour & Hygiene •
Issue regular reminders to staff and/or customers to follow social distancing advice and wash their hands regularly
•
Provide additional pop-up handwashing stations or facilities if possible, providing soap, water, hand sanitiser and tissues and encourage staff to use them
•
Ensure frequent cleaning and disinfecting of objects and surfaces that are touched regularly, using your standard cleaning products and particularly at the end and beginning of shifts
•
Consider shift working or the staggering of processes which would enable staff to continue to operate both effectively and where possible at a safe distance
•
Spread out standard processes, so that only one team needs to be on the premises to complete a task at a given time
•
Regulate entry so that the premises do not become overcrowded
•
Offer all guests access to lavatories to wash hands upon entering the building before they go to their hosts floor
Back to work
Touchpoint safety •
Provide daily access to appropriate PPE
•
Encourage the use of digital and remote transfers of material where possible rather than paper format, such as using e-forms, emails and e-banking
•
Regulate entry so that the premises do not become overcrowded
•
If feasible, place plexiglass barriers at points of regular interaction as an additional element of protection for workers and customers (where customers might touch or lean against these, ensure they are cleaned and disinfected as often as is feasible in line with standard cleaning procedures)
•
Minimise the usage of paper visitor passes
Back to work
Communication •
Use signage to direct movement into lanes, if feasible, while maintaining a 2-metre distance
•
Make sure managers know how to spot symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) and are clear on any relevant processes
