Physical Distancing At Rugby Plant

The team at Rugby Cement plant have implemented excellent new processes to ensure physical distancing during induction and at the security office.

Lee Needham explains: “We have set up a new site induction process for Delivery Drivers which can be conducted by the Weighbridge Operator behind the safety of a glass window. The small room is part of the inbound weighbridge and has an internal door so there is no contact between the Driver and the Weighbridge Operator, and the Weighbridge Operator can carry out the induction in between booking in deliveries.

All induction material is pinned up on either side of the wall so both parties can refer to it. The quiz, to confirm understanding, is completed and shown through the glass before posting in a box for later filing, so no human contact is required.

We have also installed a ‘Sneeze Board’ in the security cabin so there is a physical Perspex barrier between visitors and security guards to minimise the chance of transferring the virus.”

Well done for these great ideas to keep people safe!
