- All employees that can work from home are doing so;
- Our production team are safely stationed 2-3 metres apart, following the social distancing guidelines;
- Santising desks, work surfaces, work benches and equipment more frequently throughout the day;
- Cleaning contact points such as door handles, taps and hand rails even more frequently with disinfectants;
- Reminding all employees of the importance of thorough and frequent hand-washing
