PPE Considerations for Travel Industry Companies

Management in the travel industry needs to stay prepared and flexible. As health professionals discover more about how this fast-moving infection spreads, be sure to pay attention and implement COVID-19 regulations in your business strategies.

Enhanced Sanitation:  frequent hand washing and the availability of hand sanitizer when hand washing stations are unavailable.

Explore digital options such as touch less purchase stations, touch less check-in as related digital options become more readily available. If touch less options are not offered or available, frequent and aggressive sanitation of high-touch areas will be a priority.

Create Transmission Barriers:

Transmission barriers, whether individual or physical, are a crucial part of slowing the SARS-CoV2 infection. Physical transmission barriers consist of transparent screens securing employees, obstructions in between seating choices, etc. These physical barriers can prevent infection and stop the spread of the virus.

Personal Transmission Tarriers Consist of PPE and Social Distancing Protocols.

The CDC highly urges all travel workers and consumers to use masks. Health professionals agree that wearing a mask is an extremely effective tool to prevent the spread of infection, especially in public locations. All clients must be equipped with appropriate PPE wear and have extra PPE on-hand in case of emergency. Workers should be required to have their own medical-grade PPE. Depending upon their role and preexisting health conditions, some employees might need more PPE than others.

As travel companies take extreme, yet necessary steps to cut costs, reduce in-person contact, and save resources, they must look to the future. Not only is it essential for the health of employees and customers, but for the survival of the industry as a whole. Choices made today will either promote, or delay, the inevitable resurgence of the travel industry.
