​​​

Our Covid-19 Measures to keep you and your employees safe.

​

We are working to reduce the risk of transmission to the lowest level, by taking the following health and safety measures.

 

1. Cleaning your Equipment and appliances we Test.

 

After every inspection and test we will use disinfectant and/or isopropyl alcohol wipes. All surfaces we have touched during the inspection and test will be wiped down, this includes our own equipment before and after each working day.

  

2. Symptoms of Covid-19 

 

New continuous cough, high temperature and a loss of taste and/or smell.

 

Customers will be required to disclose if anyone at the site of Inspecting and/or testing of equipment and appliances has had a fever or any other symptoms of Covid-19 or has been in contact with anyone displaying Covid-19 symptoms, suspected of having Covid-19 or has had a Covid-19 positive test result at least 24 hours before their booked service date. The booking will be cancelled without any consequences for either party and will be rescheduled. 

 

If the PAT Tester, staff or the customer becomes unwell or suffers from the symptoms above 14 days prior to the session, both parties will inform each other immediately.

 

3. Self-monitoring

 

The PAT Tester/staff will monitor their temperatures before coming into the customers place of work/home. 

 

4. Hand sanitising

 

We will use appropriate sanitising hand gels before entering the customers place of work and will be used prior to going into a different areas of the customers premisses.

 

5. Social distancing

 

We would advise you as the customer to make your colleagues/staff that we are coming so they are ready to vacate work areas when we need access, to reduce time spent in the same areas.

We will keep to 2-meter distancing as much as possible when carrying our PAT Testing. We agree that every effort will be made to always keep a 2-meter distance where possible.

 

6. Local lockdowns

 

We will adhere to instructions given by HM Government and Local Authority appertaining to our business regarding any local lockdown regulations issued and these local lockdown regulations will supersede previous Covid-19 Regulations where applicable. 

 

7. Face coverings/PPE

 

We will always wear face coverings when attending your place of work and/or home. Where applicable to the customer, we will wear full PPE this includes Face coverings (Both Visor and Face Masks), disposable overalls and approved medical Gloves. After each Working day, all items will be placed into a black bag and disposed of in the bin. The Visor will be wiped down with disinfectant and/or isopropyl alcohol wipes.

   

​8. Providing Safe PAT Testing Home Visits for people who work from home.

 

The following safety guide will take place for your employees who work from home…

 

• The Engineer will arrive at your employees home wearing a Face Mask.

• The Engineer will wipe down an empty container with disinfectant and/or isopropyl alcohol wipes.

• The Engineer will then use appropriate sanitising hand gels, take the container to your employee’s home and ring the doorbell/knock the door.

• The Engineer will then proceed to step back and always maintain a 2-meter distance.

• Your employee will place the appliances for inspection and testing into the container and close the door.

• The Engineer will then take the container back to his van/car to complete the necessary inspections and tests.

• The Engineer will then wipe down the appliances with disinfectant and/or isopropyl alcohol wipes and place then back into the container.

• The Engineer then returns the container with the appliances back to your employee’s home rings the doorbell/knock and again proceeds to always keep a 2-meter distance.

• After your employee has collected the appliances from the container and a bid a fair farewell, the engineer returns to his/her van/car with the container and wipes it down with disinfectant and/or isopropyl alcohol wipes.

• The Engineer will also use appropriate sanitising hand gels to make sure he is safe.

 

If you would like JM PAT Testing to conduct PAT Testing on your business premises but not in your building/s for your employees who work from home the above procedure can be adapted to suit this by having set times for employees to arrive with the appliances and Inspection and Testing in the car park or your choice of location.

If this is a preferred option then JM PAT Testing will organise a schedule for your employees to attend, please contact JM PAT Testing for further information.
