As we get used to managing the new normal, many of us need to prepare our foodservice areas in a slightly different way to how we have previously operated. There are some essential precautions to take when preparing a catering environment or workplace canteen during Coronavirus (COVID-19) to ensure the safety of both staff and customers, and this advice applies to both inside food preparation areas as well as in areas where customers or workplace staff may need to queue to purchase food.

What hygiene products and hand wash solutions are available from Jongor Hire?
Washing hands more frequently can help reduce the spread of germs, so it is important to promote hand hygiene through more signage and increase the number of hand wash stations available for both staff handing food and for customers purchasing food in your canteen. Although it is very unlikely that coronavirus is transmitted through food, it is good practise that anyone handling food should wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. We offer both Electric Hand Wash Stations that require no plumbing, and Hand Wash Sinks that need a hot and cold water feed. At Jongor Hire, we can manage delivery and installation.
Electric Hand Wash Stations
Controlled by a foot sensor, these Electric Hand Wash Stations are cost-effective and comply fully with food hygiene standards.
Hand Wash Sinks
Installation is required for these compact Hand Wash Sinks.
Hand Sanitiser Station
A freestanding mobile hand sanitiser station is great for use at event spaces, places of work, public buildings, retail, foodservice areas and schools.
