West Country - Statement of best practice regarding Covid 19.
To ensure that we can continue to do our bit to keep critical service providers operating during these difficult times we are taking the following steps:
Cancelled/Postponed all none essential service works where equipment is installed inside buildings with multiple occupents.
Equipment that is installed and used outside in commercial and industrial workspaces such as warehouses, factorys, garagaes and Yards (as most of the equipment we service is) will continue to be serviced as normal, we will however take steps to mitigate the risk to our engineers and your employees by sanitising equipment before and after leaving site.
We are going to provide this service while keeping contact with yourself to an absolute minimum. As we have now moved over to a fully digital asset managment and work recoring system, we will not need to get paper worksheets signed off.
If you are unwell or have been in contact with someone who is unwell please make us aware before we attend your site, we can then take measures to minimise the risk and follow the latest Government guidlines.
These steps are to minimise our risk to you and your risk to us, we are one of the few companies that must stay operational to keep things like food factories, dairies and emergency services going to keep industry operating.
The team at Westcountry are very confident we will continue to provide our excellent level of customer service that we are known for.
Social distancing
Where possible you should keep people 2 metres apart. If this is not viable, keeping 1 metre apart with risk mitigation is acceptable.
Cleaning, hygiene and handwashing
Keeping your workplace clean and frequent handwashing reduces the potential for coronavirus to spread. It is a critical part of making and keeping your business COVID-secure.
Ventilation and air conditioning
Good ventilation (including air conditioning) can help reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus. There are simple steps you can take to improve ventilation while maintaining a comfortable temperature in your workplace.

There is more information and advice on other subjects including PPE, air conditioning, and managing work-related stress on the HSE coronavirus page.
