experienz Promotes Safe Working Practices
About Plumb House
The Challenge
Plumb House’s motto of “Safety and People First” has never been more apt as they reviewed their working practices in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. With restrictions easing and employees returning to work, but with the virus still a threat, there was a requirement for new ways of working. Plumb House needed to facilitate distancing between co-workers and contractors, undertake rapid health assessments and keep records of those attending sites or offices across multiple locations.
The manual sign-in process, whereby staff, visitors and contractors signed a book on entering a site or office, clearly presented a risk as there was contact, but with no pre-screening for COVID symptoms. Automating this process, and including pre-screening meant Plumb House could accelerate the opening of more sites in the Boston area, keep up with frequently changing government data requirements and ensure safety is, as ever, at the top of their agenda.
The Solution
Plumb House signed up with Experienz and TIMIT SOLUTION to deploy experienz digital health and wellbeing platform, which includes a contactless screening process. The solution pre-screens employees for coronavirus infection as they return to work and provides a continual daily assessment. Employees that display symptoms are identified quickly and supported appropriately, reducing the risk of infecting co-workers. The contactless screening process also tracks which employees attend which sites and workplaces, ensuring track and trace is in place for every employee. experienz had to be comprehensive in its data gathering while also being quick and easy to use by a large and diverse workforce.
The Results
The experienz solution has provided Plumb House with an innovative, fully automated system to collect, assess and distribute data while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of their employees. Over 500 Plumbhouse employees and contractors used the platform daily for morethan 12 months for health screening and safety assessment.
experienz also provides the means of distributing the data it collects, giving Plumb House a full reporting range for future government agency requirements. Risky manual processes have been removed, and the opening of workplaces has been accelerated.
”The experienz solution provided Plumb House with a fully automated system to collect and distribute data, all while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of their employees, as the 500+ workforce returned from lockdown or self-isolation into work.
