Government guidelines have outlined that the main objective is to maintain social distancing wherever possible, while people travel through the workplace and when at their workstations. When this is not possible mitigating actions include using glass protection screens, floor standing glass screens or glass barriers to increase protection from coughs and sneezes. Introducing glass protection screens to the workplace is a quick and effective way to protect your staff and (if applicable) the public from the risk of cross contamination.

What are the safest and most effective ways to arrange the screens to reduce this risk of transmission?
Employers are being advised to review the layout of their workplaces so that staff can work side-by-side or back-to-back (rather than face-to-face) and always at the current 1 metre plus distance from one another. Hot-desking and shared workspaces are to be avoided entirely too. Where any of these measures aren’t possible – or for extra precaution – anti-viral COVID glass protection screens are the recommended solution.

The Safe Health care screen extension has proved to be extremely popular as it is easy to install and keep clean.
