Ten Tips to Promote SOcial Distancing

Here’s how they do social distancing down under:

Signage and floor markings:

1. Erect posters and signage in-store reminding customers to maintain a physical distance of at least 1.5 metres (the length of a trolley can be used as a guide).

2. Place distinctive markings on the floor near the register to ensure that customers queue 1.5 metres apart (duct tape or masking tape can be used for this).

Hygiene and cleaning:

3. Frequently disinfect high-touch surfaces and objects (eg. tills, countertops, fridge door handles etc).

4. Clean cash registers and EFTPOS terminals with a soft cloth and alcohol-based cleaning solution. Avoid using water-based solutions to clean payment terminals as this may affect the functioning of circuit-boards.

5. Provide staff with disposable gloves to wear while handling items at the register. Ensure that these gloves are regularly replaced.

6. Place dispensers of hand sanitiser on counters for all staff and customers to use.
