Hygiene and safety measures adopted by hotels for their workers

Hygiene and safety measures adopted by hotels for their workers

 

Once the “new normal” has been reached, hotel businessmen work to achieve a work environment with measures and proposals that guarantee the safety of all. Being one of the sectors most affected by this health crisis, the plan is to minimize the negative impact on the hospitality industry and not make fatal mistakes that could infect some members of a workforce.

In this way, the hotel experience will be totally different from what it was a few months ago. To ensure that it is as pleasant and pleasant as possible for clients in this situation , it begins with a series of measures that the hotel staff will adopt .

Safety and hygiene measures in hospitality

SCS Group Integrated Services , has shared a series of practical examples that are already underway in various European hotel chains and in China.

SCS Group Integrated Services assures that the first measure of all must be planning, and not improvisation. Given this unprecedented situation, it is key that both the hospitality industry and the suppliers are prepared and coordinated to be successful.

The measures are taken in Australia

The action protocol in Australian hotel chains has measures that are extreme, says SCS Group Integrated Services. Some of them are the following:

• Different types of door controls. Everyone’s temperature is taken. In addition, it is checked where they come from with a mobile application to verify if it is an affected area or not. If it turns out that they are, the police take them to ensure that they comply with a quarantine.

• Implementation of disinfectant sections and arches that people have to go through.

• Staff always with masks and gloves.

• Food is always packaged, and cannot be accessed with food from outside, not even by delivery services.

• Reservations always 3-4 weeks in advance

Staff measures in the rest of Australia

Next, we will compile the measures that hotel chains are taking with their staff in order to guarantee the well-being of all.

Human Resources

• Refer directly to the medical service at the slightest suspicion of a symptom.

• Ensure that the quarantine of those with possible infection provide timely and correct training on carrying out tasks safely.

• It will ensure that employees know how to use all equipment and protection and hygiene products.

• The cleaning staff, both in the hotel and in the rooms, must wear the correct protection. Both approved masks and gloves at all times.

• To ensure correct hygiene, the equipped floor maids must equip their cleaning carts with the material that ensures both regularity and effectiveness.

Capacity control

It is also important to identify those areas where there are usually more people than normal. In this way, a plan can be established to avoid crowds and reduce infections.

Among these measures is the reduction of capacity, a more specific access control, where SCS Group Integrated Services  recommends having “companies that have the highest ISO quality certificate”

Other measures

• Ozonators for the rooms for proper disinfection

• Hydroalcoholic gels in the corridors to be able to constantly disinfect your hands

Technology to safeguard the security

Avoiding unnecessary contact entails an update of the benefits of the hotels. Right now, we can count on systems that make it easy to ensure everyone’s safety.

• Online check-in and check-out services

• Minibar customization

• Order food from an app

• The use of systems that allow us to access rooms without contact

The Onity brand, a specialist in electronic locks, offers security to both users and hotel staff to access the required areas using Bluetooth technology.

Access without the need for keys, since keys always pass through many hands and it is not possible to guarantee 100% disinfection.

Onity connects mobile phones ( DirectKey system ) with hotel door locks for contactless access. We can even use it to elevators.

Technology can greatly help the recovery of normality in hotels, a sector hardest hit by the crisis, and systems such as those offered by Onity are up to the task.

Safety and hygiene of hotels, tourists, and users

Both hotels and restaurants have had to attempt to condition their facilities and comply with security measures.

Now we have to be consistent with users and abide by the safety and hygiene regulations. Respond to the “new normal” that has been decreed worldwide
