ADVICE PLEASE

We're developing the logistics for Cargo Cycle delivery to vulnerable isolated people working with local community groups. (See above)

We will be training the riders next week to include measures to take to minimise infection obviously.

Planning to ensure the following guidelines for our rider team:
1. If you have any symptoms stay at home and inform control
2. Wear gloves. (Not issuing masks though if people wish to wear them then up to them)
3. Wipe the cycle down with antiseptic stuff we're supplying at start and end of shift and if any likelihood that anyone else touches the cycle
4. Remain 2m away from anyone else at the pick up point (Food-banks/Grocers)
5. Drop stuff outside people's doors, step away and call them. Wait till they have picked up goods
Please let me know if you think I can improve this guidance.

Tell your 'external contractors' to join the union as they could be members of both the cycle instructors branch and couriers branch.

As an employer(a contested word I know) I'd be very careful around not issuing masks as they could be considered essential PPE given the circumstances and that method of working takes into account clear understanding and exposure to risk of infection especially as the service is aimed to send them door to door of sick people. As an employer you have a duty to staff and should be looking to keep them safe, providing PPE and other resources as needed to keep staff safe or cancelling unsafe activity is part of this.
