COVID 19

.

Does your cleaning regime meet the required standards needed to reduce the risk of COVID-19 to your staff, customers & visitors?

The UK government has created guides for businesses, both in and outside of the healthcare sector, with advice about how cleaning protocols can reduce the spread.

Cleaning should be carried out regularly, thoroughly, and with suitable chemical products that are designed to kill virus droplets.
Increased cleaning is required for surfaces and areas regularly used – such as phone systems, door handles, light switches, remote controls and communal kitchen areas and bathroom facilities.
If a visitor or member of staff becomes unwell, enhanced cleaning is required for any areas where that person has been in attendance.
Suitable cleaning products should be used, with the specification of detergent disinfectants being diluted to 1,000 PPM (parts per million), or general-purpose detergents followed by disinfectants.
Disposable cleaning products must be safely disposed of after every use.

By sourcing suitable cleaning products, and effective disinfectants, businesses can significantly reduce the potential spread, whether or not an attendee has been diagnosed with Coronavirus.

As a result of the pandemic, the purpose of a security guard has transitioned into a more direct communication role. There is a substantial increase in the need to liaise with the public as new measures unfold, and are introduced, amended, and increased on a weekly or even daily basis.

Some of the most significant ways in which Security personnel roles have adapted include:

Higher ratios and visibility of security guards to enforce new Covid-19 safety regulations.
Increasingly communicative functions to assist visitors, workers and colleagues, particularly at public access venues.
Understanding and implementing social measures such as visitor number restrictions, face coverings, minimum distancing and sanitising.
Applying higher levels of crowd control and traffic management.
Assisting those most vulnerable in navigating new layouts and protocols.
Responding to a higher demand for mobile patrols while businesses and facilities are closed.
Expanded fire safety roles in safeguarding vacant premises.
Maintaining an overview of more extensive spaces, including car parking, open-access sites and queuing systems.
Enforcing processes by screening visitors.

While some aspects of these duties were previously part of the role of a security guard, there is a significant increase in the demand, responsibility and value of using such personnel to keep sites, workers and visitors safe.

UK businesses have tentatively been able to resume trading in some sectors. Having sufficient security to help manage a smooth reopening process has been critical to being able to meet requirements for people management.
