Best Practice Procedures

Dibbens Removals COVID-19 Best Practice Procedures

The purpose of this guide is to reduce the transfer risk of COVID-19 between staff, our clients and the general public.

By accepting our quotation you are agreeing to abide by these procedures and will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the staff are able to carry out their duties in accordance with these procedures.

We must be assured no-one in your household has had or are showing symptoms of Corona Virus during the the move and/or an appointment with one of our surveyors.

We also recommend anyone considered to be in a high-risk category should not be on site and a representative may need to be appointed in their place

Staff who are unwell with symptoms of Coronavirus should not present themselves for work or, in the event that they do, they will be sent home.

Alcohol hand sanitiser (80%) and wipes will be carried by each crew member, stocks will be replenished as required.

Crew should wash their hands thoroughly on an hourly basis and, if wearing, frequently sanitise the work gloves.

Packing materials will only be used once (Boxes returned will be stored for minimum 7 days before re-use).
