For business preparing to reopen during the COVID–19 pandemic, implementing the correct health and safety measures is paramount. As we begin to navigate new rules and social distancing, Comtec Sanitisation Services addresses specific health and safety concerns related to the spread of COVID–19 and puts international and national protocols into practice.

Current guidelines to protect staff and guests during the reopening phase include:

 

• Training all employees on the importance of frequent hand washing, the use of hand sanitisers with at least 60% to 70% alcohol content and giving them clear instruction to avoid touching hands to face.

 

• Face coverings have been shown to be effective tools to mitigate risk from individuals who show symptoms as well as those who do not, especially in close environments where it is hard for people to maintain a two-meter distance. It may be that face coverings are required by all staff members and management. In all cases, those coverings worn by employees should be kept clean in accordance with guidelines issued

 

• Thoroughly detail-clean and sanitise the entire facility, especially if it has been closed. Focus on high-contact areas that would be touched by both employees and guests. Do not overlook seldom-touched surfaces. Follow sanitizing material guidance to ensure it’s at effective sanitizing strength and to protect surfaces.
