Glandore Covid-19 Hygiene Guide
The following procedure outlines Glandore’s response to a suspected/confirmed case of Covid-19 amongst our members.
It is important that should a member feel unwell, they stay at home and avoid coming into Glandore buildings. Should a member start to feel unwell while at work, they must inform their Manager/H&W Officer, who in turn should inform Glandore immediately. Glandore will endeavor to assist the H&W Officer in making any necessary transport arrangements for the unwell member. Should there be a delay in arranging transportation, Glandore can provide a temporary isolation space for the member to wait.
PPE can be made available to the member for their and others safety. Should the Local Health Authority require assistance in contact tracing, Glandore will endeavor to help, as best we can, to ensure the H&W Officer has as much information as we can provide. In the instance of a confirmed Covid-19 case at Glandore, we will consult the Local Health Authority and follow their advice and protocols prior to informing other members. Glandore’s Housekeeping Team will immediately initiate a full deep clean and disinfection of the member’s desk, and office.
It is important that all members follow Glandore’s ‘Clean Desk Policy’ in order for this cleaning to be effective and for Glandore to ensure the safety of other members. Chairs will be disinfected and then wrapped in plastic should there be a suspected case or an instance of a confirmed case.
