The goal of our safety plan is to reduce the risk of person-to-person transmission as well as to reduce the risk of the virus spreading through droplets in the air, implementing protocols to protect against the identified risks.
Different protocols offer different levels of protection. Wherever possible, we will use the protocols outlined that offer the highest level of protection for our staff and partners at Simply Foods.
- Facemask/face covering – All members and their guests must wear a mask (facial protection/approved PPE) when they are inside Prep facilities and likely to be within 2m/6ft of another person. Where distancing of 2m/6ft is not possible PPE will be expected. PPE to be provided by each company for all their employees.
