COVID-19 POLICY

​

The safety and wellbeing of our customer and staff, at their specific sites, is paramount to us at Regency Clean. We have moved swiftly to implement any additional guidance during the coronavirus outbreak. 

​

The Government issued guidelines  on May 11th  2020 to assist businesses to follow 5 steps to Safer Working Together. Our COVID-19 Policy includes the measures we are actively taking to mitigate the spread of coronavirus.

​

Due to the nature of our business we have put into practise regular clear and concise communication with our cleaning staff. All staff have been issued with updated Risk Assessment Guidelines and have now applied these guidelines to their individual site.

​

The points highlighted are:

​

• The importance of handwashing. All staff are issued with a handwashing technique guide

• The instruction to stay at home and self- isolating for 7 days if they experience symptoms of coronavirus. These include a high fever, cough, loss of smell taste. They must report these symptoms to us if they experience them.

• They must work at a 2 metre distance from other operatives and anyone on the customer’s site. The 2 metre distance must be kept when they are working or on rest breaks.

• Sites are serviced by a single cleaning operative or cleaning operatives in a fixed team. No rotation systems are used.

• Those who are travelling together in vehicles must be from a household group, practice social distancing where possible, or wear a face covering with increased ventilation in the vehicle.

• Staff have been issued with their own temperature reading equipment and temperature sheets for recording their daily temperature.

• Staff have also be issued with their own pen for completing signing in records.

• The wellbeing of others, including the mental health of all that work at Regency Clean will be prioritised by encouraging staff to share any concerns they have. 

​

All staff at Regency Clean are expected to wear the correct PPE in accordance with HSE guidance for our industry. This is now enhanced with the issue of:

• A visor for staff to wear when working.

• Different PPE measures have been put in place for certain specific sites, such as health and social care settings, or if any of our staff have underlying health conditions.

​

Guidance for Working Safely during Coronavirus Section 5 sets out the responsibilities that individual businesses must have a clean workplace with additional hand washing facilities or hand sanitiser, switching to paper towels rather than air or roller driers and to increase the frequency of cleaning. We seek to assist our customers by:

• Updating all our clients as to the measures being taken within their existing cleaning schedule, to maintain a high standard of cleaning and assisting with any increased requirements.

• Issuing a printable hand washing technique poster to laminate and prominently display as a visual reminder to all that use the building.

• Making available hand sanitiser, antibacterial spray and hand wash.

• Making availability paper products such as hand towels and blue roll. 

• Advising clients, where possible, to have a sanitising station for their own staff to regularly wipe down high contact areas during the day.
