Using PPE to Protect Staff Effectively

For any business, your staff are a hugely important part of what you do. Companies that treat their staff well tend to thrive, and the need to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of staff is as high as it can be has never been greater.

With the risk of infection from COVID-19 still very much present, there is an increased need to ensure that your staff remain protected.

As society starts to open up again with the lifting of some restrictions, there is obviously a greater chance of staff interacting with members of the public.

This means that if you are reopening your premises in the near future, you need to ensure that your staff are well protected. PPE is a great way to do this, and here at Slingsby we have plenty of options for you to choose from.

Safety Screens

One of the main ways that COVID-19 is spread is via droplets emitted via the mouth or nose of an infected person. This is why masks have played such an important role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 to date.

Wearing masks throughout the working day however can be a tough ask, and may be uncomfortable or distracting for workers.

This is where safety screens can pay real dividends. These act in a similar way to masks in that they put a layer of protection between people to help prevent infections spreading. They are also easier to work with, helping to improve staff comfort and wellbeing levels.

At Slingsby, we have an excellent assortment of protection screens for you to add to your office or workplace. Our range includes roller blind screens, hanging perspex protection screens, and free standing screens for areas such as receptions.

We also have free standing desk protection screens that are perfect for office settings. These sit between workers and help to lower the chances of them spreading infection within your workforce.

Back to work kits

As more and more businesses start to welcome staff to their premises, knowing you have all you need to cater to various requirements is a real boon.

Items such as face masks and hand sanitiser are a must-have in this new normal. At Slingsby we have a host of back to work office kits available to provide you with the basic protective items you need.

Our basic back to work kit comes with an array of face masks and hand sanitiser, making it perfect for any business welcoming people through their doors.

We also stock medium sized and large back to work kits, with greater volumes of protective products contained. These are a strong option for any business opening its doors and wanting to ensure visitors are given all they need to stay protected during their visit.

Workstation dividers

We mentioned screens to divide workers sat at desks, but if your workforce spends more time on their feet at workstations, something else is likely required.

Slingsby has workstation protection dividers available to help keep staff separated within a factory or workshop setting. We stock dividers made from double wall cardboard, as well as clear, solid and windowed dividers.

Masks and faceshields

At Slingsby, we understand how important such items are, and have put together an impressive collection of mask options for our customers to stock up on.

We stock disposable surgical style face masks, as well as other disposable varieties for you to choose from.
