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.

Hand Sanitiser

Ever since the outbreak of Covid-19, hand sanitiser has been in extremely high demand. This trend looks set to continue as all public spaces and workplaces reopening to the public look to have hand sanitising facilities readily available to keep cross contamination to a minimum. The Transport Secretary said earlier this month that hand washing with the use of sanitiser is still a more effective method of combating cross contamination than wearing face masks.

Although the specifics around the measures businesses will be expected to take and the clarity of the communication coming from the government are being much debated, what is clear is that all businesses will be required to take steps to support the safety and well-being of their stakeholders.

Businesses that have been required to continue operating to the best of their ability throughout the outbreak, which includes TWC Group, may have a head start on adjusting to a new way of working from both an equipment and a procedural perspective.
