Where Should You Install Sneeze Guards in Your Business

A sneeze guard is also known as a cough shield. This is a glass or plastic screen designed to protect people from exposure to respiratory droplets. A sneeze can travel up to 100 miles an hour and disperse over a hundred thousand virus-laden droplets. This is why WHO has advised the use of screen guards in public places. You can install such cough shields in the following areas in your office:

Reception Area

Most office reception desks are actually pathways for all kinds of disease-carrying microbes. From visitors to deliveries that come via the front desk, anyone and anything can potentially pose a virus spread threat to people working in the office. However, installing sneeze guards can help mitigate this threat to a great extent. You can always leave some room at the bottom of your hanging sneeze guard to allow documents and parcels to be passed back and forth.

Conference Rooms

This will help to promote the concept of social distancing in staff meetings. You can add small acrylic barriers and table dividers for individual seats. Such sneeze guard systems are easy to install and fully adjustable, so you can modify them, as and when you like according to individual preferences.

Cubicles

You can also easily install multiple frameless cubicle wall extenders for all of your staff cubicles. Not only will they retain their original functionality, but also act as highly effective sneezeguards too.

Apart from the above, you may also use them as floor dividers in open floor designs, executive suites, lunchrooms, and the like.

Conclusion

With a deadly pandemic raging everywhere, all of us must take every precaution to keep ourselves as safe as possible. This is the best way to contain and eventually eliminate this terrible pandemic. Always remember, prevention is better than cure.
