As countries loosen their lockdowns, restrictions remain on the social distancing and sanitisation procedures required to ensure the safety of staff in warehouses, shops and offices. For companies that are reviewing working conditions and implementing new measures, Farnell offers a wide range of technologies and tools, with fast turnaround, in the areas of monitoring, protection and social distancing.
James McGregor, Global Head of Test and Tools at Farnell, said: "As companies get back to work, Farnell will be here to support customers who need to ensure the safety of their staff, with solutions to support a wide range of safety plans, from building occupancy monitoring equipment to Elevated Body Temperature (EBT) detection devices, through to more traditional signage systems. This year, as never before, ensuring the safety of staff in the workplace will be a key objective and, as we move through this pandemic, new ways of working will be established that will remain in place to minimise the risk of a return to crisis. Farnell is able to ship these essential tools now, so that its customers can welcome their staff back to work with confidence and thus secure the future of their businesses in a post-Covid environment".
In addition to fast delivery and regular stock replenishment, Farnell offers a range of online services to enable customers to buy back essential products and register their interest in being notified when a specific product is back in stock. Customers also have free access to online datasheets, application notes and other resources.
Monitoring solutions
- TheFlir One Pro allows you to turn your smartphone into a thermal imaging camera. Available for both IOS and Android it is an inexpensive way to monitor temperatures in many environments. Thermal imaging cameras FLIR have long been used in public spaces such as airports, train stations and factories to measure skin surface temperatures and identify individuals with EBT.
- The non-contact infrared thermometer IR200 by EXTECH Instruments, designed to quickly and safely detect high body temperatures, is not a replacement for temperature monitoring devices, but is ideal for use at home or at work for quick and safe measurements.
Working safely at a distance
The access control monitoring system IRISYS SafeCount is designed for accuracy and rapid deployment and helps companies comply with social distancing guidelines and space occupancy restrictions by anonymously counting people as they enter or leave the building. The system is suitable for buildings of all sizes and provides immediate data on occupancy, with visual warnings when limits are reached or exceeded. Farnell also offers a wide range of Coronavirus (COVID-19) signage for effective security and social distancing.
