COVID-19

BROOKS SITES – SAFETY FIRST

We now have a dedicated COVID-19 compliance officer in each Brooks branch, and they will be easily distinguishable by the public as they will be wearing orange Hi Viz vests.

Compliance officers will be assisting with ensuring adherence to the (below) COVID-19 guidelines.

• Social Distancing – between customers-employees, customer-customer, employee-employee
• Hand Hygiene - dispensers will be available on entry and exit from the branch
• Cleaning / disinfecting of site and stations been completed by all appropriate staff

The health & safety of employees and customers is the single biggest priority of Brooks Timber & Building Supplies Limited, and with this in mind we have made some changes to our branches.

You will note the following when you visit a Brooks branch.

• Disinfection stations at entries & exits
• Controlled number of customers allowed entry to branches at any one time
• Safety signage instructions throughout our sites
• Safety floor marking in stores - 2 metres guidelines
• Perspex screens on all counters & cash desks
•       All Brooks employees wearing face masks
•       All Flooring / Sanitary Ware showrooms will be unsupervised for the next number of weeks
•       We request you pay by card rather than cash where possible
