About Lesson

Social distancing means keeping people apart to help reduce the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Where possible, you should keep people 2m apart. If this is not possible, consider additional control measures.

 

Workstation, welfare rooms and security cabins, social distancing rules apply at all times.

It is very important that you follow the social distancing rules at all times. As a security officer you must lead by example and enforce the social distancing rules, including the wearing of PPE. Furthermore, take extra measures to ensure that you deter any anti-social behavior by customers or by employees.

Also, consider the below points to ensure social distancing in workstations or security cabins:

Manage occupancy levels (2 people per cabin)

Avoid any sharing of workstations, including hot-desking where possible

Where workstations must be shared, try to keep the same set of people using them

Where it’s not possible to keep workstations 2 m apart, consider the additional control measures.

 

Let us see more example measures to maintain social distancing:

Using floor paint or tape to measure work areas, restrictions or reminding customers must stand.

 

The use of signage to remind everyone of the 2m distance rule.

 

Ensure that employees are working side by side, instead of face to face.

 

Limiting movement of people, and the number of people in a room, workstation or a security cabin.
