Social distancing in the workplace to meet Coronavirus guidelines has become easier than ever before for employees of SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) with the news that Reactec is to make its SAFE-DISTANCE system available to all employers at the same price \u2013 regardless of the number of systems purchased.<\/p>\n
SAFE-DISTANCE is a fully integrated system that includes a wrist-worn device which gives audio, vibratory and visual warnings when it comes within an unsafe distance (less than two metres) of another SAFE-DISTANCE device. In addition, it automatically gathers data to a hosted database with analytics that allow employers to manage their employees\u2019 social distancing behaviour at work and inform contact tracing if and when needed.<\/p>\n
More than 10,000 SAFE-DISTANCE devices are now being used in the UK, principally within manufacturing, construction, rail and local authorities.<\/p>\n
Previously, Reactec employed a ratcheted discounting system that favoured large orders. Now all purchasers will be able to access SAFE-DISTANCE to help protect their employees at the same reduced price of \u00a3160 per person, a 50% discount \u2013 making the system more affordable than ever before for SMEs.<\/p>\n
Jacqui McLaughlin, CEO of Edinburgh-based Reactec<\/strong>, said:<\/p>\n \u201cWe are determined to play our part in the fight against Covid-19 and we believe that, whether they work for a large or a small employer, everyone stands a better chance of avoiding this disease if they adhere to social distancing guidelines.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHaving developed the SAFE-DISTANCE system, we want to see it in as many workplaces as possible to help companies to continue to operate \u2013 ensuring their staff stay socially distanced while they keep the economy going.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
