OUR APPROACH
With everybody’s mind now firmly looking at carefully and at least partially re-opening their businesses and venues in the next weeks or months, it is important to think about where we are.
We see five phases to this pandemic:
- pre- and on peak COVID19
- post-peak COVID19 – in the next few months?
- steady state manageable COVID19 – later 2020, or likely 2021?
- post pandemic COVID19 – in the next couple of years?
- post COVID-19 – once an adequate vaccine has been deployed worldwide – likely a few years out.
We are currently on phase (1) with a hope to get to phase (2) reasonably soon. Obviously depending on how things turn out. A second wave will put us back to different stages as they occur, so it is essential to try and avoid that.
We take a very pro-active approach to your return to work. This ranges from simple solutions, such as finding locations for and providing automatic soap and hand gel dispensers for in your restrooms and various other areas, and by having a hand cleaning gel dispenser for private use in every office to more comprehensive measures.
Before anyone enters the office, we recommend a touch-free forehead temperature check.
We'll look at how you're handling your mail, and incoming goods, and we'll see if we can keep deliveries away from your front office staff.
We can look at automatic doors to avoid physical contact - or go for a simpler and low cost approach.
At night, we can use ozone to help disinfect your office. Ozone is known to break down the corona virus. From around midnight the ozone is turned off, and the air conditioning fans run to remove all traces of ozone before your first staff members enter the building.
We'll look at upgrading the filters in your air conditioning, and fit the returns with UVC lights, so that recirculated air is disinfected as much as possible before being fed back into the building.
We'll look at your common areas - your kitchen, break room and restrooms. We'll implement an interlock system so that UVC can safely be applied when there is nobody in those areas so that we can disinfect them between uses, and we'll use multiple UVC sources to avoid shadowing.
Yes, we do go out of our way – our attitude is that our staff are our company, and we’re doing our very best to keep them as safe as possible, and if you're reading this, clearly you feel that way too. Then there are the economic losses if you can't do things safely, on top of all that.
Our staff, clients and visitors’ fears, real or imagined, need to be managed to encourage them back into your office. Of course we need to ensure that everybody wears masks, and gloves whenever necessary - but that's clearly not enough. Offices need to be adequately cleaned, staff needs to be careful, and other measures like one-way traffic and proper separation between people has to be considered with care.
