Morrisons introduces new features to increase safety

 

With the increase in the number of coronavirus cases, companies have decided to introduce more security protocols. This is being done by Morrisons. The firm has implemented new features at all of its 494 supermarkets across the UK.

To make sure that customers feel safe, the retailer is going to place welcoming cleaning stations at store entrances. These will contain antibacterial wipes for baskets and trolleys and hand sanitiser. However, that is not all. The supermarket company has a whole new set of additional procedures. For instance, all outlets will receive three-week deep-clean, more equipment, and cleaning staff. Before investing in these, Morrisons had already spent £25 million to implement safety systems like such as Perspex screens, PPE for colleagues, floor markings and visible signage during the lockdown.

This programme has led to the creation of thousands of jobs across the country. On the 14th of September, 2240 new cleaning roles were introduced. For example, there will be a Market Street Hygiene Assistant in all stores - to clean food preparation areas. This will ensure that Morrisons foodmakers do not have to worry about anything and can concentrate on making fresh quality products for its butcher, baker, fishmonger, deli, greengrocer and florist departments. Additionally, there will be more people to clean different areas of the supermarkets.
