Working With Precautions

At last…. there’s a much needed light at the end of the tunnel and a promise of better things to come, after The PM announced we are past the peak and a gradual release from lockdown, looms.

In light of the current situation, our heart sincerely goes out to all those affected.

After weeks spent inside we all need something to look forward to and for us it’s that day when we can get back to what we do best which is provide you with a courteous, expedient, professional service of the highest calibre!

We as a company took the view to protect our customers, staff and family’s in these difficult times. However, in recent times we have been contacted by our customers to see if we could continue installing their windows/doors.

At SJB Sash Windows Specialist we are proud to have always invested heavily in the appropriate training and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required to enable our employees to safely carry out their work.

At this challenging time, ensuring the safety of both our employees, customers and family’s is essential.

We are glad to be able to announce that our workshop has reopened as of Monday 4th May 2020, we have started to re-open our manufacturing facilities, having made the necessary adjustments required to ensure that employees are always working at least 2 metres apart, have the necessary PPE and most importantly are kept safe.

Our focus now turns to how we can carry out installations, where the customer wishes us to proceed with their work and is happy to adhere to the guidelines. We are to restart our installations in customers’ homes as of Monday 11th May 2020.

Despite the challenges that we will all no doubt face, SJB Sash Windows Specialist is strong and we are confident we have all the correct PPE and measures in place to carry out your installation the highest calibre.

  • Gloves – to be worn at all times
  • Hand sanitizer – to clean their hands on a numerous of occasions
  • Anti-bacterial wipes – to wipe down the window/door surface at the end of each day.

Tradespeople Working In People’s Homes

On entry to the home you should wash your hands using soap and water for 20 seconds. You should wash your hands regularly, particularly after blowing your nose, sneezing or coughing, and when leaving the property. Where facilities to wash hands are not available, hand sanitiser should be used, and you should always carry this with you at all times.

Masks are to be worn at all times. The aim of wearing a face mask is to protect your mouth and nose from a client’s respiratory secretions. Wearing a face mask also protects clients by minimising the risk of passing on infection from yourself

Note: Do not go to work if you have symptoms of COVID-19 such as cough and or temperature

Gloves – protect you from picking up the COVID-19 virus from the environment (such as contaminated surfaces) or directly from people with COVID-19. Disposable gloves must be worn when providing direct care and when exposure to body fluids is likely. Disposable gloves are single use and must be disposed of immediately after completion of a procedure or task and after each task, followed by hand hygiene. Care must be taken not to touch the face, mouth or eyes when wearing gloves.

Hand sanitizer must be applied immediately before & after every entry of the property and after any activity or contact that potentially results in your hands becoming contaminated. This includes the removal of personal protective equipment (PPE), equipment decontamination and waste handling

You should maintain a safe distance (at least 2 metres) from any household occupants at all times and ensure good ventilation in the area where you are working, including opening the window.

No work should be carried out in any household which is isolating or where an individual is being shielded, unless your work is to remedy a direct risk to the safety of the household, such as emergency call outs.

Thank you to you all for all your patience, support and understanding over the last few weeks, it is very much appreciated.
