Signature Sanitize – Keeping Your Customers and Employees Safe During Reopening Phases

As re-opening moves forward and COVID-19 restrictions are relaxed, businesses are focused on opening while keeping customers and employees safe. The question for many is how to do so effectively. Following OSHA, CDC, as well as state and local guidelines is imperative for the protection of customers and employees of your company.  Cleaning and disinfecting are crucial for re-opening your business and for keeping it safe for everyone going forward.

Develop A Plan to Keep Your Customers and Employees Safe

As you develop your plan to keep your employees and customers safe as you successfully reopen your business, here are some helpful tips:

• Decrease sharing and contact with frequently touched items like phones, office supplies, workstations, desks, etc.
• In your office breakroom, consider adding all disposable products (cups, plates, utensils) to limit sharing, and avoid cross-contamination.
• Use contactless payment when possible. If contactless payment is not an option, use wipeable covers for tablets, touchscreens, and credit card terminals which employees wipe clean between customers. When cash or cards are used for payment, avoid hand-to-hand contact though the use of a tray or counter.
• If your business is a restaurant, self-service options should be avoided. Disposable menus and single-use condiments should be used to limit sharing.
• Provide your employees with lots of options to sanitize including access to soup and running water, alcohol-based hand sanitizers or wipes at multiple locations throughout your business, as well as tissues, and touchless trashcans.
• Add educational signs at entryways, bathrooms, and other high-traffic areas encouraging employees and customers to wash hands frequently, practice social distancing, wear masks, and practice proper cough/sneeze etiquette.
• Encourage employees to stay home when they are sick by offering non-punitive and flexible time off options as well as paid sick leave.
• Establish physical distancing policies for employees and enforce them. Get creative with your space – which might mean rearranging desks, moving credit card readers, or relocating workstations.
• Encourage social distancing for customers. Use posters, tape, or stickers to show customers how to maintain the “six feet apart” guideline.
• Allow remote working opportunities if possible.
• Restrict the number of customers in your business. Consider establishing a separate entrance and exit, as well as one-way walkways throughout your space.
• If applicable to your business, add delivery, curbside service, and to-go pick-up options.
• Install physical barriers between employees and customers in areas where maintaining physical distancing is impossible.
• Clean and disinfect frequently, particularly the most accessed touchpoints (desks, registers, shelves, displays, doorknobs, phones, light switches, keyboards, push bars, etc.) in your office, store, or facility.
