Committed to ensuring the safety of our staff against Covid-19, we are proud to announce that we have partnered with the NHS on the rollout of their 'Test and Trace' scheme. As a registered member of the scheme, we now offer regular testing to all our staff across seven of our UK offices: Chesterfield, Colchester, Guildford, Leeds, London, Manchester and St. Helens. For ByrneLooby, this is an essential step to safeguard the workplace against Covid-19 and highlights our commitment towards safe and healthy workplaces for all employees, clients and stakeholders.
Maintaining safe workplace standards is a priority for ByrneLooby, and this scheme complements our existing workplace Covid-19 protocols. All employees will have access to Rapid Lateral Flow/Antigen testing kits allowing individuals to undertake the test in the safety of their own home and granting them the opportunity to self-isolate immediately in the case of a positive test.
Sam Hurst, QHSE Manager at ByrneLooby, commented:
"As we begin to move forward with our business continuity plan, the safety of our people is paramount. By offering Covid-19 testing to our staff, it will ensure the health of our employees. We want to thank the NHS for the rollout of this scheme".
