Maintaining social distancing indoors within business premises or public buildings – or at entrances – is a continuing priority. We explore robust solutions to managing the way staff, visitors and students move around or sit 2m apart.
Depending on your type of building and its user groups, adhering to COVID-19 Government proximity guidelines can be rather fraught. Keeping everyone properly socially distanced as they move, stand or sit in your premises requires some creative thinking. You need clear and unmissable reminders for everyone to remain compliant.
The Government guidelines for COVID infection control demand that a gap of 2m is created between people within your building and as they approach it. Though this can be reduced to 1m with reliable adherence to mask-wearing and good ventilation.
That’s a tall order. Especially in places where children are present or in business locations where ‘old habits’ are hard to address. There is a natural tendency to cluster or pass too close to each other.
To help workplaces and public buildings to find the best social distancing signage solutions, we offer several proven systems.
Colourful, unavoidable distancing floor markers
One of the easiest ways to enforce social distancing indoors and outside is unmissable ‘stickers’ on the ground. Ones that stand up well to significant wear and tear.
Our range of Semi-Permanent Social Distance Floor Markers gives you plenty of options to choose from, including both 2m and 1m stickers depending on your goal. There are also floor arrows to encourage one-way walking.
We offer permanent floor markers too, but our semi-permanent social distancing floor signs provide a degree of flexibility that many customers find valuable.
They can be stuck down quickly with no mess, and then removed and reused as required.
School social distancing signs
For a more child-friendly solution to managing COVID-19 safety, we supply School Social Distance Floor Markers.
These are designed to be bright and cheerful, delivering this important message with bold graphics and strong colours. The quality floor sticker range includes one-way footprints.
All designs offer a durable anti-slip product for school hallways and receptions, or throughout classrooms, libraries and canteens.
External social distancing markers
All of our social distancing floor markers are of reliable strength to withstand footfall, avoiding the need for frequent replacement. However, there are locations and situations in which adhesive ground markers may not be the best option.
Particularly for COVID safety management in playgrounds and industrial yards and loading bays. Or, outside retail units or at bus stops for example. For those times, we supply Social Distance Floor Stencils.
Our multi-use and tough stencils – in four designs – make it simple and quick to create floor-level social distancing signs. We even supply the paint.
Workplace seating and social distancing
How can you meet Government guidelines on distancing, in locations where people sit down? This could include, for instance, workplace canteens, meeting rooms, halls or arenas in tourist attractions.
We are a Social Distancing Seat Marker supplier, enabling customers to clearly signpost unavailable chairs.
These long-lasting signs fasten easily onto the back of chairs with a strong elasticated cord and come in different designs to match your chosen message. However, they all offer clarity and versatility in managing social distanced seating.
Warning tape for infection control
Our social distancing signage all delivers important messages in an unmissable way. However, there is another simple but effective product to manage infection control in and around workplaces and public buildings, and that’s floor tape.
Floor tape is a long-established way to mark out hazards and guide pedestrians around.
Our robust floor tape – available in various colours, sizes and patterns – gives you a highly flexible and creative way to deal with distancing guidelines. For example, it can be used to create a grid system to socially distance work teams or to show people where to stand, walk or sit in 1m or 2m gaps.
Having a stock of safety floor tapes can be valuable to deal with daily infection control situations and new challenges. So, we are currently offering 1 free roll with every 2 you buy. Also, we recommend buying our floor tape applicator to create accurate lines, without bending down.
Making social distancing easy
Government rules on keeping people apart in workplaces and public buildings will be around for some time. Yet, few organisations can afford to invest in structural changes or permanent barriers and screens to reinforce social distancing.
Safe Industrial has created leading social distancing signage products to make compliance as cheap as possible. Without compromising on clarity of messaging or the durability of signs for COVID-19 safety management.
