COVID-19
Dear Customers, upon the careful assessment of risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have introduced new safety measures to ensure your protection. We have thoroughly considered several direct and indirect risks that come with the virus and have provided examples along with solutions.
CONSIDERATIONS:
- The stress as a result of COVID-19
- How workers and customers can be harmed.
- How workers and customers can potentially be exposed to the virus. For example, through the direct contact with infected people or contaminated surfaces.
- How the risk of infection can be rated during any work-related tasks.
- The selection of appropriate controls to protect workers and customers using a hierarchy of control.
Below are methods we will take to ensure your safety.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Clean all areas of contact with antibacterial wipe. For example: the door handles (inside and out); the steering wheel and the gear stick before and after your shift
- Wash your hands frequently or use anti-bacterial hand sanitiser.
- The driver side is to be separated from the back of the vehicle with a plastic barrier. Make sure this is wiped frequently to prevent the possible spread of the virus from passenger to passenger.
- Do not allow any passenger to sit next to you.
- Try to keep payments contact free.
- Always clean received money. Cleaned money should stay separate to uncleaned money to avoid contamination. This is to be done with either anti-bacterial wipes or spray.
- Steam clean the inside of the vehicle every week at the end of your rota.
- Do not take more than 6 passengers on a 9-seater vehicle and no more than 4 passengers on a 7-seater vehicle.
- Make sure the vehicle is well-ventilated to increase air flow, for example, by opening a window.
- Keep antibacterial hand sanitiser available for the customer use.
- Clean door handles in and out during the day with antibacterial wipes.
