   • Enforcing physical distancing regimes in workspaces and
   • Conducting regular and robust cleaning protocols .

In addition, we will ensure:
    • Plans, processes and procedures in place to ensure correct management of risks,

    • Provide appropriate PPE and cleaning equipment to limit exposure, and
    • Take suitable actions where potential COVID symptoms are identified at a work location.

                  office has been deep cleaned (same day).
              o If the staff member was turned away at the door and was following PPE requirements (mask
                  and distancing), the office will not need to be shut, the entrance area should be cleaned.

         self-isolating awaiting a result:
              o The Schick Cleaning Team will follow the site deep cleaning process as outlined in 4.2.
