Case Study: Protective screens

Summary

Bluestones One is incredibly proud to have installed thousands of screens on behalf of manufacturers, supporting essential retailers to protect their staff and customers during the Coronavirus outbreak. The screens have been designed to reduce the risk of spreading the virus at the checkout areas, where the correct social distancing measures aren’t always possible.

Challenges

There were several challenges associated with this project:

  • There were less than 12 hours to schedule, plan and cost the project
  • Implementation started shortly afterwards
  • Ensuring the safety of everyone involved in the project, store staff and members of the public
  • Managing store access issues whilst the stores operate reduced hours and manage less staff availability

Results

This excellent safety measure was implemented across all stores in a very short period with minimal impact to stores operations. All appropriate measures were adhered to, ensuring social distancing and cleanliness were of the up-most importance.
