PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
To action the lead of Public Health Authorities, SmartCell Communications has implemented additional practices and policies to ensure the safety of our staff, clients, and the community. If you choose to visit our stores you will certainly notice some changes.
Our risk management approach to COVID-19 in the workplace focuses on four key pillars:
- Clear communication – communicating our new protocols and procedures with staff and clients.
- Personal protective equipment – masks, antibacterial hand soap, hand sanitizer.
- Physical distancing – distancing protocols, engineered barriers, directional signage.
- Duration of exchange – eliminating or limiting prolonged periods of close contact*.
* Close contact is considered personal interactions that break the two-meter guidelines for physical distancing or contact in a confined space (boardroom) for prolonged periods of time. In these situations, the use of PPE (facemasks) is mandatory for both employees and clients.
SmartCell Communications has also increased its cleaning and disinfecting practices within our stores. This includes special treatment of workstations, high contact areas, and shared or common spaces.
