Notice Sign – Please Practise Social Distancing

To clearly communicate social distancing requirements to staff and visitors, consider the following strategies:

1. Visual Signage

• Post Signs: Place signs at entrances, exits, and throughout the facility that outline social distancing guidelines, including:
  • Recommended distance (e.g., “Please maintain 6 feet of distance”).
  • Floor markings to guide spacing in waiting areas, checkouts, and queues.
• Infographics: Use clear, easy-to-understand graphics that visually convey the message.

2. Written Communication

• Emails and Newsletters: Send out regular updates to staff and visitors regarding the social distancing measures in place. Include:
  • Importance of maintaining distance.
  • Specific actions required (e.g., limits on group sizes).
• Internal Memo: Distribute a memo to staff outlining expectations and procedures related to social distancing.

3. Verbal Communication

• Meetings and Briefings: Discuss social distancing protocols during staff meetings. Ensure everyone understands their roles in enforcing these measures.
• Customer Interactions: Train staff to remind visitors of social distancing rules politely and effectively.

4. Digital Communication

• Website Updates: Ensure that your website clearly outlines social distancing policies for visitors before they arrive.
• Social Media Posts: Use your organization’s social media platforms to share updates and reminders about social distancing requirements.

5. Physical Modifications

• Seating Arrangements: Reorganize furniture to ensure appropriate spacing in communal areas.
• Barriers: Install physical barriers (like acrylic shields) in areas where close contact may occur.

6. Feedback Mechanism

• Surveys: Solicit feedback from staff and visitors on the effectiveness of communication efforts and make adjustments as needed.

By employing a combination of these methods, you can effectively communicate social distancing requirements and ensure a safe environment for everyone.
