At Work

On entering and on leaving the building, please wash your hands.

Some businesses have introduced policies for their place of work and
you may see things like, one-way systems, desks moved further apart
than you remember or things like one person at a time allowed in a lift,

kitchen or toilet area. What is happening is social distancing, keeping
at least 2 metres away from anyone else to ensure your safety and
theirs. More information about social distancing can be found at,

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-on-

social-distancing-and-for-vulnerable-people/guidance-on-social-
distancing-for-everyone-in-the-uk-and-protecting-older-people-and-
vulnerable-adults

For us older member of society, 2 metres is about 6 feet in old money!

Many businesses will have installed hand sanitiser dispensers to be
used on entering and leaving the building or even entering and
leaving another office or designated area. Please ensure you follow
these instructions. More advice can be found here,

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-
19

If you are working around people, please ask them if it’s ok to clean in

their area, this includes anytime you may have to move within 2
metres, like emptying a bin. People will understand or simply ask you
to leave that area. This is absolutely fine, please remember though to
mark it on the schedule or in a communication book if you have one
so the customers are aware.

Apart from socially distancing yourself, it is important to wash your
hands at every opportunity with soap and water. Alternatively, use a
hand sanitiser where provided.
