HSE advises that social distancing is important to help slow the spread of coronavirus. It does this by minimising contact between potentially infected individuals and healthy individuals. In order to help prepare Ireland to go back to work, safety signs are required to inform the public and ensure social distancing is maintained for safety of your employees and clients.

What Signs or Stickers are required?

We carry a range of wall signs at Safety Sign Centre which come in a variety of sizes. These can be made from corrugated plastic, rigid flat plastic of aluminium. Any other sizes can be made up to your requirement. Floor signs are double laminated and will adhere to dust-free and clean flat surfaces. They come as a standard 500mm diameter. Other sizes are available on request. Many of our floor signs can currently be seen within retail facilities. Our wall signs can be seen throughout the country.

We also have a lot of safety signs about Covid 19 and how to prevent it spreading, and how to maintain social distancing at all times in the workplace.

What precautions can you take?

You should:

Keep a space of 2 metres (6.5 feet) between you and other people. Work from home if possible. Do not shake hands. Wash your hands frequently. You can take one hour of exercise daily but within a 2km radius of your home only. Travel is only permitted for essential workers as defined by the government, for shopping for household food and for visiting pharmacies/ doctors, also for vital family reasons.
Avoid sneezing and coughing in close proximity to other people. If you must cough or sneeze then do this into your elbow. COVID 19 may survive on surfaces if someone who has it coughs or sneezes onto it. Simple household disinfectants can kill the virus on surfaces.
Wash your hands with warm water and apply soap. Rub your hands together until the soap forms a lather. Rub between your fingers, the tops of your fingers and under your nails. Do this for about 20 seconds. Rinse your hands under clean, clear water. Dry your hands using paper towels or a clean towel.
If you feel unwell with COVID 19 symptoms then you should contact your GP by telephone. Do not visit the surgery or hospital in person. Your GP will asses and determine if you need to be tested for COVID 19. If your GP asks you to self-isolate then you should stay at home. Alert your close friends, relatives and neighbour by telephone that you are not feeling well and are unable to receive visitors. Organise shopping in advance to be delivered to your home and left at the doorstep. Make an up to date list of your medicine, this is very important should you need further medical treatment from anyone other than your usual doctors. There is no need to order extra medicines, this may reduce the availability to other people.
At-risk groups include people aged 75 and over who are particularly vulnerable, all people over 60. People ( adults and children) who have long term medical issues including people with cardiac and respiratory conditions.. People whose immune system is compromised due to disease, including cancer patients. Any patients that have a respiratory issue. Residents of nursing homes, mental institutions or other long-stay facilities. All over 50's within the specialist disability health services.
