Coronavirus COVID-19 Measure & Procedures
Due to the current risks associated with COVID-19, Amberdale has implemented the following actions:
• Advice and training to all members of staff is being given on the best methods and procedures to prevent spread of the virus, this includes posters being displayed to heighten the awareness of COVID-19 and minimise the potential risk of the virus being contracted or spread on site.
• All staff members are being requested to self-isolate should they feel that they are suffering from the symptoms of COVID-19.
• Existing hand washing regime has been strengthened, along with the regular use of anti-bacterial hand sanitiser.
• Extra cleaning has been put in place, of areas of high contact, such as the canteen, toilets and door handles.
• Any unnecessary or non-urgent customer, supplier and contractor visits to site have been, or will be, cancelled or postponed.
We are an essential supplier, supplying packaging to the food and medical sectors. In order to minimise the impact that the virus may have on our customers, the following are in place and have been implemented:
• Our production plant is fully operational and we are able to provide our customers with their regular and new requirements
• Each department at Amberdale has multi-skilled personnel capable of covering colleagues during illness and/or holidays.
• Senior staff are able to multi-task within the business to provide additional cover during illness and/or holidays.
• Staff are segregated where possible, office staff in separate offices and factory staff are practising the social distancing rule of 2 metres.
• PPE provided – gloves and face masks to be worn in production and warehouse.
• We are in constant contact with material suppliers to ensure continuous supply. We hold ample stocks of raw materials to cover production for up to two months.
• Customer stock holding can be increased if required in the short term to ensure adequate and continued supply of product.
We would like to thank all of our customers and suppliers for your continued business, support and understanding in these uncertain times, and we will continue to meet the highest standards as expected from us.
We wish all customers, suppliers and associates safety and prosperity in these challenging times.
Please inform our team in advance if there are any protocols you have in place which we need to adhere to.
