While continuing business as normal, the company reaffirmed that their main priority is the safety of suppliers, clients, customers and staff. In some cases, fire suppression is a mandatory piece of equipment for businesses and assets to operate so, due to the recent government guidance, Firetrace has implemented many procedures for employees to limit the spread of COVID-19.

Following are the measures that Firetrace Ltd has put in place to ensure safety of staff, customers, suppliers and clients -

• The company will adhere to the government guidelines regarding social distancing.
• Employees are mandated to wash hands upon arrival to work and regularly throughout the day. They are also implored to always wash hands before entering any communal area.
• Maximum of three permanent residents allowed in each office.
• Maximum of three persons in the canteen area at a time. Avoiding staff dwelling in the canteen and taking breaks in personal vehicles or at workstations whenever possible.
• Removal of individual waste and trash bins. Washing & drying personal cups & utensils for staff.
• To limit possible cross contamination, staff will be directed to use only their own working apparatus.
• Smoking and vaping is banned on office premises.
• All company vehicles will be restricted to one employee. This may mean two or more vans being sent on jobs where multiple engineers are required.
• The company will cease engineers’ overnight stays and revert to daily travelling for all jobs. The closest available engineer will be allocated where possible in a nearby location.
• Firetrace employees will cease work immediately if they believe the environment is un-safe at any point.
