Personal Protection Screens and Equipment
Following on from our blog last week on ‘The New Normal’ for the workplace, we have put together a selection of personal protection equipment for you to consider to help getting your team back into the workplace as safely as possible.
The impact of Covid 19 has challenged the conventions of the office building like we have not known before and will accelerate the implementation of different working styles.
By introducing personal protection screens, it will help define the boundaries between staff and ensure that the physical distance requirements are adhered to. This approach will also reduce anxiety of the work force by giving the peace of mind that they are protected while in the workplace.
The Anti-Viral Desk Guard from Mobili, above, demonstrates how the adjustable clamp bracket simply attaches onto the existing screens. It can be used on aluminium or fabric screens from 25mm to 32mm thickness, and comes with handy neoprene pads fitted to the bracket to protect the original screen from damage.
If colleagues are too close and workplaces to densely populated we feel instinctively uncomfortable in the space. And while we’re occupied with thinking about that, we’re not using our cognitive skills to do any actual work. The translucent three sided screen by Senator, is highly adaptable and can be used on any existing workspace by simply sliding onto the desk. It even has a cut out at the back to ensure the computer cables can pass through without comprising the stability of the screen.
Free-standing hygiene screens are a versatile way to protect staff. They can be moved around the office to suit and can also be used to create Temperature Testing Stations, as Boss Design have done above. It creates a physical division to help social distancing at a time when it may be likely that a group of people build up. The transparent screen allows full communication and they are easy to clean and disinfect regularly.
Senator have created mobile hand sanitizer units that can be positioned around the workplace. Offering flexibility to be moved where needed and without damaging existing fixtures and fittings make this a great option for the office environment. It is made from smooth MFC panels, that can be fully cleaned, with option to use anti-bacterial materials that reduces active life of virus and also allows the floor to be fully cleaned underneath.
Our forced homeworking has given us the opportunity to concentrate and focus on tasks and we will want this replicated in the workplace. There will be renewed appreciation of the settings that screens and protective equipment provide to shield ourselves both physically and mentally.
