When thinking of keeping your workplace COVID-safe, it can be easy to simply focus on our immediate environment as people – whether that be considering how workers can be social distance in an office environment, or how to limit the potential spread of the virus between staff and customers in retail.
Manufacturing and distribution businesses, particularly those working with food, have also needed to put protective measures into place. One such company to have done this is Oakland International, which provides chilled and ambient food distribution to the UK and Ireland’s most popular food retailers.
As COVID-19 thrives in chilled environments and can survive freezing temperatures, Oakland recognised the potential impact of the pandemic on food distribution and urgently sought a food-safe sanitising solution.
With the introduction of ShieldMe solutions, available through Covid Safe UK for sanitising surfaces; sanitising foggers which disinfect stock, vehicles, MHE and storage facilities; hand sanitiser dispensers and sanitisation tunnels, Oakland were able to minimise the risk of viral transmission throughout the delivery process in a food-safe, environmentally-friendly way.
‘We were impressed by the simplicity of the ShieldMe application methods and by the sanitising product itself which was the first one we discovered to have the Covid ‘Kill stamp approval’’, said Dean Attwell, co-founder and CEO of Oakland.
‘The product is far more pleasant for team members. With it being plant-based, no strong odours and non-alcoholic, the team’s reaction to the measures that we have employed alongside Trimite’s innovations in application technology has been extremely positive.’
