End of trip facilities
In addition to other general hygiene measures, for end-of-trip facilities which can often be damp environments, you should work with your building owner/manager to implement enhanced hygiene measures:
- ensure access to soap and paper hand towels or alcohol-based hand sanitiser is available at all times at the entry/exits of these facilities
- where there are lockers – assign workers their own locker where possible, to avoid multiple users
- provide disinfectant wipes where possible in appropriate areas to enable workers to wipe down frequently touched surfaces such as locker doors, keypad entry, bicycle cages etc before and after use
- if there is shared equipment (e.g hairdryers) consider either removing them and asking workers to bring their own or require workers to wash or sanitise their hands before using the shared equipment. Shared equipment should be cleaned frequently - see our cleaning page and cleaning guide for more information
- request that workers continue to practice usual good hygiene for change rooms and showers such as wearing thongs or waterproof shoes
- for towels or other items that may be damp or wet, consider providing an on-site laundry or towel exchange service where possible. Alternatively, request workers leave towels or other items in a well-ventilated area to dry. For example, in a sheltered bike locker area either in a dedicated area or over the worker’s own bike
- if a well-ventilated area is not available, request workers put their damp items in a sealed plastic bag to be laundered at home. Storage in lockers may be an option, however, consider whether their use may give rise to other risks (e.g. possible growth of pathogens) if the locker itself is not adequately ventilated
- provide and maintain waste bins for the hygienic disposal of paper towels, tissues and personal items
- implement frequent cleaning of all areas – see our cleaning page and cleaning guide for more information.
