As employees are often working in close proximity, industrial workplaces such as factories, manufacturing plants and warehouses have been redefining their working environments and putting new measures in place to ensure the health and safety of their workforce. Employee temperature checks are an additional measure which can reduce the anxiety of staff and reassure employers that they are tackling virus spread as much as they possibly can.

Temperature scanning kiosks can be used on entrance to your facilities to scan for abnormal temperatures and mask detection. If using mask detection, individuals not wearing a mask will be instructed to do so and must re-scan before entering. 

Compared with handheld thermometers, temperature kiosks are a more effective solution as a staff member is not required to operate the kiosks, therefore no one is put at risk and you will save on resources too. The temperature scan takes around a second, meaning no delays for employees at the start of their shift. 

According to UNESCO data, COVID-19 has affected 80% of students worldwide, with 1.37 billion children unable to attend classes face to face. Schools, universities and colleges worldwide are preparing for new academic years and for those offering face to face teaching, different measures are being put in place to minimise risk. 

With phased and reduced face to face teaching being undertaken by many schools and universities, popular measures include hand sanitising, masks, desk dividers and distancing. Temperature checks and sign-in systems can be implemented to control access to your facilities, whether it be for classes or for open facilities like your library. 

Temperature kiosks provide self-service checks for abnormal temperatures and can verify if an individual is wearing a mask, if required. With full history and logs, track and trace can be easily implemented should any virus outbreak occur.
