Workplace health and safety at Plexal

We’ve significantly increased both the frequency and intensity of our cleaning regimes. These measures include:

• having cleaning staff dedicated to different parts of Plexal so a cleaner is always on hand
• introducing new CAFT (common areas frequently touched) cleaning staff during peak hours to concentrate on cleaning areas that are frequently used like as door handles and railings
• introducing a compulsory 15-minute break between meeting room bookings so we can clean them between meetings
• providing antiviral wipes in all meeting rooms and throughout Plexal for members to use
• introducing a new deep clean every three weeks. This involves a fogging process using a virucidal product that leaves an anti-viral residue on hard and soft surfaces, giving some protection against viruses for one month
• using increased strength viricidal cleaning products for every day cleaning that leave a residue that continues to kill viruses for a period of time after a surface is cleaned
• encouraging a clean desk policy throughout Plexal so our evening clean can be as thorough as possible

We’re also:

• providing hand sanitiser throughout Plexal, both on the ground floor and on the mezzanines
• ensuring our sinks have plenty of kitchen roll and hand wash
• providing disposable gloves behind our reception desk, should members ask for a pair
• encouraging members to wash their hands and practice good hygiene through signage placed around the centre
• providing new pedal bins in each kitchen to ensure touch-free disposal facilities
• providing a new PPE disposal bin so that disposable masks, gloves and other protective wear can be safely disposed of on arrival
