********************************Update 15th June********************************
The rules of conduct listed below continue to apply at least until 31st August.
********************************Update 4th May********************************
Until 14th June inclusive, our rules of conduct continue to apply. This includes...
...hand hygiene and spacing as a top priority
...the spatial equalization of employees and working in divided zones
...the temporal equalization of breaks, so that colleagues from different departments do not meet each other personally
...the use of handover containers to transfer mail and other documents
...the reduction of personal meetings or visits from outside the company to a minimum
This is to ensure that operations at Hupfer can continue despite the current situation.
********************************Update 23th March*****************************
The rules of conduct for all employees at Hupfer have been extended with effect from 23 March.
This includes that...
......individual zones have been set up throughout the building, which are only entered by the employees working there. From now on members of a department actively step out of their personal zone in order to communicate with other employees.
... the break times have been equalized so that employees from production and administration now spend their breaks at different times. The break rooms are additionally cleaned and disinfected between the respective groups.
...external persons can now only enter the building up to the goods sluice.
In addition, the disinfectant dispensers in the transition areas (corridors / floors) will be extended throughout the entire building. All other measures (see below) will of course continue to apply.
********************************************************************************
Health and desocialisation:
- Employees with health problems and critical functions in the company do their work in the home office
- Social contact is kept to a minimum. Rules of conduct apply which stipulate a self-determined minimum distance of two metres to other people. This eliminates the need for internal meetings and visits where these requirements cannot be met.
- Direct contact with suppliers at the incoming goods department is subject to increase hygiene regulations restricted (e.g. separate toilet for external third parties, required hand disinfection).
Procedures and guidelines:
- A hygiene guide was given to all employees, which was also sent to the employees' private addresses in order to ensure the necessary care in hygiene in the private environment as well. These include an increasing frequency of hand washing and disinfecting before/after meals and before/after meetings.
- Employees returning from crisis areas must report before starting work and are placed in a 14-day quarantine
- The serving of food was time-equalized, seats were arranged according to the above described distance rules, the supply of open cold meals was stopped.
