Introduction
Recent Government guidance states that’ employers have a legal responsibility to keep their workers safe – including minimising their risk of catching coronavirus’.
With plans of the lockdown easing in the next few months and have you considered how you will re-open your business and what measures you will take to protect your employee’s health and wellbeing? Have you evaluated the financial implications should a second wave enter your workplace!
Not only does COVID-19 threaten to reappear in subsequent waves if we do not remain vigilant, but there will always be future pandemics to brace against as well.
Macaw understand how important it is that you can work safely and support your employees. We have several solutions that can help a business when reoccupying a building and demonstrate that you are doing all that is reasonably practicable to conform to government guidelines.
These include:
- Thermal Body Temperature Measurement
- Non Contact infra Red Thermometers
- People Flow Control
- Cleaning Services
- Social Distancing signage
Thermal Body Temperature Measurement
Human Body Temperature Measuring technology assists in preventing the spread of viral diseases by allowing for quick, accurate detection of elevated body temperatures. Thermal imaging equipment can easily be installed and implemented to detect elevated body temperature in environments such as airports, hospitals, distribution centres, office buildings, warehouses, cruise ships, and any large public gathering location. This type of contactless body temperature measurement from a safe distance helps to protect your staff and minimize the risk of infection. This contactless temperature measurement not only works extremely quick, but also measures up to 30 people at the same time.
An elevated temperature is a common symptom of COVID-19 but It must be noted that an elevated body temperature alone does not mean an individual has Covid-19 or any other infection. This system should be used as part of a process for potentially mitigating the risk of an infection entering a workplace. A clearly defined policy and procedure must be laid out on what steps should be taken should an individual’s temperature read high and what further confirmation would be needed in order to make an informed decision if the individual would be granted access to the workplace. As with all safety & security system this will not guarantee that an infection will not enter the workplace but will assist in reducing the probability if used correctly.
Non-Contact Infra-Red Thermometer
Used as a standalone device or as part of the Thermal Body Temperature Measurement solution, this thermometer gives precise readings to the nearest 0.1C and can help you accurately measure temperature – with zero contact. Using safe Infra-Red Technology, this thermometer allows you to precisely measure any temperature up to 5cm away from an individual or object. This non-contact devices helps to limit any bacteria being passed from one person to another, whilst the temperature is being measured.

- 1-Second Rapid Response Time – allowing you to react quickly in an emergency
- Precise Readings – measures temperature to the nearest 0.1C
- Enables you to accurately measure high temperature in an individual
- Accurate, Consistent Measurements – with 0.1C repeatability
- Lightweight, Handheld Design
- Ridged, Ergonomic Handle provides an enhanced grip – enabling you to record temperatures with ease
People Flow Control
Our system is designed to control and monitor how many people are entering and leaving a workplace, and provides an all-in-one solution to assist in monitoring social distancing measures.
With its simple setup and operation, our People Flow Solution can be quickly deployed in a number of situations and public places. Our cameras use advanced AI technology to track and monitor the continuous flow of people, with our DSS Express software being effectively calibrated to allow you to limit the number of occupants in your facility, as well as keeping an up to date track of the flow of people entering and exiting.
The system can be set to your specific restrictions, allowing you to choose the maximum number of occupants and the entrance you wish to monitor.
It works with a simple red/green light setup, with the light green when people are free to enter, and turning red the moment you reach your maximum occupancy.
Cleaning
Government guidelines state that any site or location that has been closed or partially operated is clean and ready to restart prior to reoccupation and once open to keep the workplace clean and prevent transmission by touching contaminated surfaces.
To support this Macaw can offer:
- Specialist Cleaning
- Industrial Cleaning
- Daily Office Cleaning
- Education Cleaning
Signage
The government have advised that members of the public should always maintain a minimum distance of 2 meters from each other to limit the spread of covid-19. These floor and wall graphics help to promote social distancing and the self-adhesive finish means these can be securely fixed to a surface at 2 meter intervals.
- Helps people adhere to the governmentʼs social distancing guidelines, which state that people should remain at least 2 metres apart at all times
- Self-adhesive vinyl finish allows each graphic to be securely affixed to the floor at 2-metre increments
- Provides a clear, accurate and visual 2-metre boundary
- Removes reliance on individual perception of 2 metres
- Eye-catching, vibrant design increases recognition of safety guidelines
- Bi-directional arrows provide a clear visual symbol that reinforces the idea of social distancing
- Each graphic has a 400mm diameter, but they are designed to be positioned at 2-metre increments
- Can be produced in any colours and can be personalised with your logo
