Social distancing – what does it mean and look like?
If you are coming back to Sunnyside Hemel Food Garden, Mike has taken some photos and explains what we are doing to help everyone understand and remind us all what ‘social distancing’ means.
There’s the 2m circle. If you stand around the edge and one stands in the middle this is what 2ms feels like.
The silver line with the feet either end is used as a reminder for individuals.
The tables are spaced out for breaks with 1 person per table.
All staff with groups now wear hi vis and trainees also wear hi vis corresponding to their group leader’s colour
Breaks and meals are now taken either in the mess room or the summer house so there aren’t too many people in one area.
Everyone is reminded to wash hands at break times and all touch points are cleaned 3 times a day.
We will still work to 2m distancing as this helps to maintain at least the 1m distance between all at work.
Oh and when we use the buses we are wearing masks – guess who….
Jack!
