We spent some time last week undergoing the 'We're Good to Go' government COVID-19 industry standard for cleanliness and social distancing in the workplace. Take a look at what this entailed and how it will benefit us in tackling the rest of our jobs this year.
With the majority of the Cypher team back in the office and an abundance of virtual jobs over the next few weeks, we needed to ensure that we are doing everything in our power to keep our team safe. The 'We're Good to Go' industry standard was originally created for the tourism industry; however, many of the requirements are relevant to the events industry and its suppliers.
- The certification process ensured that we had been following the relevant guidelines, ensuring the safety of the team:
- Have all relevant public health guidelines been read and understood?
- Has your organization created a COVID-19 risk assessment?
- Do you have a nominated health and safety individual responsible for checking, understanding, and implementing the relevant guidance for your sector?
- Are all staff who can work from home doing so?
- Is your place of work being regularly cleaned and sanitized?
These were just a few of the requirements for the certification. If you read our last article, you would know that we have been going above and beyond when it comes to social distancing in the workplace. For the last few months, we have had a maximum of three staff members in the office at any one time, each being protected by plastic standing desk shields.
