How to keep staff and visitors safe in the "new normal"

|   News

As the UK opens again, how can you help staff and visitors feel safe while using shared spaces such as washrooms?

In a post-pandemic world, people have much higher expectations when it comes to businesses and their hygiene procedures. Especially in sectors like hospitality, where staff and customers often come into close contact with one another.

Here are our top tips for business owners looking to safeguard employees and customers after months of lockdown:

High-traffic areas

For high-traffic public spaces it’s important to consider two things; accessibility and stock-levels.

Hand hygiene and social distancing measures remain essential, so it is important that businesses enable customers to stick to the rules while maintaining hygiene standards.

If supplies such as hand soap and paper towels are low, this can result in people failing to wash their hands correctly, which contributes to the spread of germs. this can lead to queues forming which impacts on social distancing.

Similarly, the positioning of systems like paper towel dispensers can impact upon social distancing, so make sure there is plenty of space for people to move easily from the sink to drying. At Satino, we rely on smart design for effective hygiene solutions. Our touch-free soap dispensers make things especially easy. Not only do they eliminate the need for users to make surface contact, they also feature a level indicator, for facilities managers and cleaning teams to easily spot when stocks are running low.

Managers can also minimise the chance of running out of stock by keeping paper towels in bulk, ensuring there are always reserves on hand.

Portable solutions

With the ever-changing situation, it is important to bear in mind that public areas may need to be adapted to meet government guidelines.

For a cleaning solution that can be easily installed wherever it’s needed, our new cardboard dispensers offer a simple alternative to a more permanent paper towel dispenser.

Designed to be used anywhere, and available in both cardboard and solid fibre board formats, these portable dispensers are perfect for beer gardens and outdoor eating areas. Designed for use at home or work and 100% recyclable, you can keep paper towels close at hand for cleaning any time.

Adhesive tape allows for attachment to a variety of surfaces for convenience. It is also easy to refill, with a visible filling level allowing users to see at a glance when they are running low.
