Direct365 Lockdown Response

Since the pandemic crisis, we’ve been on emergency response to help customers, old and new.

In the first instance, this involved halting regular services for businesses that had to close or migrate to home working, introducing new services like domestic shredding and commercial cleaning, and stocking enough of the well-sought-after emergency supplies, like hygiene and safety products.

Helping the UK Reopen

Since lockdown measures have been easing, we’ve had to adapt again to continue to help UK companies nationwide.

Over the past couple of months, our business has revolved around reinstating services, introducing more cautious measures, continuing to provide products in our PPE and hand hygiene ranges and introducing new products and services, like social distancing mats, face masks and protective screens.

In this article, we want to share with you our pandemic response services and products. Here, you’ll find all our COVID-19 safety help explained in one place, with options to learn more about any services or supplies you may need.

Hand Hygiene

Let’s start with the essentials. Hand hygiene is all anyone has been able to talk about since COVID-19 circulated – rightly so, as it’s a crucial part of minimising the spread of bacteria. For more information on this, check out “Hand Hygiene: Washing vs. Sanitising”.

While there’s been a lot of frustration over ludicrous hand sanitiser price increases and the inability to find stock anywhere, we’ve been working relentlessly to supply our hand hygiene products at the lowest price possible – conducting regular price matches to remain competitive and reliable.

We provide hand washing and sanitising supplies in our product range, but we also go the extra mile to meet a range of business’s needs with our trusty soap dispenser and sanitiser dispenser services.

These services prioritise practicality and hygiene; we provide top-ups at the frequency your business needs, using supplies with the latest antibacterial protection. Our sleek and contemporary sanitisers leave a professional impression, give users peace of mind and improve the health and safety of any workplace. 

Pandemic Control Products

We’ve got a vast range of supplies that can help protect individuals in all sorts of environments. Our COVID-battling categories include:

We’ve even created a category specifically for cost-friendly COVID protection, helping you fast track to crucial products like:

  • Hand sanitisers
  • Soap dispensers & soap refills
  • Sanitising wipes
  • Gloves
  • Face masks
  • N95 respirators
  • Disposable clothing
  • Commercial cleaners
  • Hygiene laminated poster
  • “Infection Control” Training Course
  • “Food Hygiene” Training Course

Social Distancing Mats

You can never have too many reminders for safe practices. Basic hygiene and safe distancing are crucial to prevent the spread of viruses, so we created mats to bring attention to this.

Help people out with social distancing floor signs showing how far to stay apart,appropriate walking direction, spaces to queue and more.

Or remind staff and visitors to wash their hands/sanitise properly with our hygiene floor mats, suitable for a range of areas in all sorts of workplaces.

Remember, simple messages like these can help save lives. Learn more with our article “#StaySafe – Hygiene Safety Mats“.

What’s more, you can keep your mats clean and pristine with our advanced laundering service, which removes all moisture, dirt and grit for an ultra-hygienic result.

Legionella Testing

Throughout the pandemic, many business premises have been left unused, resulting in little or no use of the water facilities for months. If water flow has been stagnant for a while, this increases the risk of Legionella bacteria growing. 

Legionella causes Legionnaires’ disease, a form of pneumonia with a high mortality rate. UK businesses must periodically carry out safety measures to reduce the risk of a Legionella outbreak. Find out more here: “#StaySafe – Legionella Flushout”.

Our Legionella prevention service defends your business against an outbreak, involving a thorough risk assessment and expert guidance to keep your business safe and compliant to British Standards. Our LCA-certified engineers will tailor a flexible action plan to your business and ensure that your systems adhere to the L8 Approved Code of Practice.

Pandemic Deep Clean

We want to offer safety to businesses across the UK by providing professional deep cleaning, specialising in emergency infection control. This service has been designed in response to the COVID-19 crisis, so any reported cases of infection will be treated with upmost urgency.

The spread of bacteria in any workplace is a viable risk and a worthy reason to invest in a reliable and effective cleaning company. Essential services that remain open need these extra precautions to ensure proper sanitation.

At Direct365, we’re pleased to be offering this service to any business that needs it, with benefits such as:

  • Out of hours service
  • Fully trained technicians
  • PAT tested equipment
  • Adherence to the highest Health & Safety protocol
  • CRB-checked staff
  • Bespoke blended products that have been tried and tested
  • Nationwide service, 7 days a week

Domestic Shredding

Working from home comes with a host of complications, a lot of them being associated with GDPR. Some of our shredding services (usually intended for business locations) have been extended for domestic services, so you can keep your business secure at home.

Data protection is still critical during these times. Paperwork containing sensitive information is classed as confidential waste and should be dealt with in accordance to GDPR guidelines. The following features make our domestic shredding service second to none:

  • In line with the law, destroying documents confidentially and safely
  • Free certificate of destruction to prove the secure shredding of your paperwork
  • Accredited to ISO9001 & ISO14001, all in accordance with current UK guidelines
  • Safety guaranteed with security checked personnel: staff have a 5-year background, DBS and reference check

Our Pandemic Response Hub

Businesses of all kinds are expected to have adequate health and safety practices; this is part of every workplace’s legal Duty of Care. With readily available supplies and regular services, you can meet the requirements expected of your business and protect staff and visitors from the spread of germs and illnesses.

To discover more about our pandemic response support, from various waste disposal services to first aid supplies (including life-saving defibrillators), head over to our COVID-19 Hub.
