Office & Furniture Reconfiguration
Organisations are gradually looking to bring staff back into offices that before Covid-19 provided a safe and suitable workspace.
However, the post Covid-19 workplace will inevitably present new challenges and new requirements to ensure staff remain safe and are happy returning to work. The number of people that a workspace can realistically and safely accommodate whilst optimising desk and office space, maintaining social distancing and ensuring the safe flow of personnel traffic brings with it unique challenges.
As clients start to reopen offices, they are working to reduce risk and make the workspace as safe as possible for their returning staff, some of whom are understandably nervous about restarting office life. Universal can undertake an antiviral disinfectant service by way of “fogging” the workspace in readiness for reopening. It is non-toxic, kills all pathogens including Covid-19 and is 10 times quicker than conventional cleaning. If requested, Universal can cover and seal the treated office chairs with plastic sheeting after fogging so the returning staff can see their work area has been cleaned and is ready.
We have changed our working practices to allow us to support your new operational requirements and practices. This means we have effectively changed the way we work to ensure our operatives and our clients are safe and their employees can safely return to work or if at work, can rest assured they will continue to remain safe whilst any work is undertaken around them.
