An increasingly prevalent factor in combating the spread of COVID-19 is the requirement to avoid gathering in large groups. Despite the inevitable disruption, this includes the workplace.

During a period when we must adjust our accepted routines to this new situation, it’s comforting to know that your investment in a KeyMaster cabinet is now delivering benefits beyond better fleet utilisation. Because key allocation and retrieval is now a decentralised process for your organisation, you’re in a strong position to minimise the risk of COVID-19 transference between colleagues.

Carry out these cleaning tips daily to help protect your most valuable asset – your people.

• Wipe down the handles, touch surfaces and keypad on your KeyMaster with a disinfectant wipe or a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water. Be careful not to soak the cloth – it should only be damp. Remember, don’t dispose of the disinfectant cloth in the toilet, as it can block-up the system. Simply throw it in the bin.
• Wipe down each individual key in the same way.
• Place a box of surgical gloves beside the KeyMaster cabinet, along with a sign encouraging their use.
• Also place a box of disinfectant wipes beside the cabinet so employees can wipe down the key they are returning and any surfaces they touch.

These simple tips will ensure that everyone who needs to use vehicles in your fleet can stay healthy and safe.

The Smartrak team wishes you well and hopes that your team stays productive and safe during these difficult times.
