The national picture for the Coronavirus outbreak is evolving and changing rapidly. As a supplier of PPE and Managed Services to the Fire and Rescue Service, Bristol Uniforms qualifies as an essential service that needs to remain operating if possible. In light of this the company wants to reassure their customers of the following steps they have taken at Bristol, both to ensure that their colleagues are able to work safely and to make sure they help keep their organization running as smoothly as it can in these challenging times.
Measures include:
- Work stations in the Factory and Service Centers have been moved to an appropriate distance from one another.
- High contact areas are cleaned regularly by Bristol Uniforms staff and by other contract cleaners.
- Where it is possible, some administration staff are working from home, others will come into work on alternate days/weeks to keep essential routines going.
- Anyone with the symptoms of a cough or high temperature will self-isolate for 7 days, or if someone in the same household displays these symptoms, they will immediately self-isolate for 14 days.
- Unnecessary travel has been limited/cancelled.
- Visitors/contractors coming to Bristol are asked to confirm they have not visited any countries of risk, do not have any symptoms and have not been exposed to others showing the symptoms, prior to arriving.
- Bristol Uniforms employees are adhering to the principles of social distancing.
- Movement between departments has been restricted.
As a business entering its seventh decade of supply to the Fire and Rescue Service, now more than ever is a time for the company to pull together in their efforts to support their customers. While doing so, it is also a time to make sure the priority throughout all of this is the health and safety of their colleagues and their families.
