If we look at the progress the supermarkets have made, we can see that they have limited the number of people allowed into stores at one time to enable people to safely practise social distancing.
Hand sanitising stations are being used by supermarkets before entering their premises.
Supermarkets have also done a good job of informing customers what is expected of them before entering a store.
Using introduction signage like floor stickers works well for denoting where people should stand
and to control the direction of movement around the store.
Many stores including corner shops have implemented screen dividers between the customers and counter staff for added protection.
Many building sites only closed down temporarily during the lockdown. As always, safety is paramount on building sites.
Again, we have seen many sites using outdoor floor stickers or floor marker spray. They have also increased the number of information signs around sites to ensure guidelines are followed.
We have seen an increase in the number of clients buying pedestrian barriers or floor stickers in order to create safe zones in manufacturing facilities.
While talking to a number of our clients, they have spoken about introducing split shifts and lengthening the working day. This will enable them to continue to reduce the number of employees on site at any one time, which will enable them to implement social distancing effectively by reducing the number of people employees come into contact with.
Opinion on the use of masks in the workplace is currently split. It is highly likely employees are going to choose to wear masks at work especially where they have close contact with customers.
There are a number of new products on the market that may help businesses as well, such as printed seat covers that could be used in cinemas to show which chairs are not to be used. Or trolley covers that can be given to customers to attach to their trolley handles.
