As many businesses begin to reopen, safety measures are a top concern. Of course, the health and safety of workers has always been a high priority, but now with the Covid pandemic, business managers and owners are looking for ways to ensure a higher level of protection at work. Are you ready to reopen your business? Read below for government guidelines to reopening, as well as some BlackHawk product suggestions, including battery information to power up your reopening. 

CAN I REOPEN?

The majority of guidelines for reopening vary from state to state. Some states are moving forward with reopening while others are pausing and some are reversing. For this reason, you have to look specifically at your state, and even your specific region, for guidelines. Requirements on masks, employee screenings, and customer interactions can vary across the board. To help track the differences across each state and provide the latest guidance and information to America’s employers, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has launched an interactive state map for state guides. The site includes the latest guidelines, timelines and other critical information for businesses aiming to restart safely and sustainably amid the pandemic, as well as a link to the latest information for employers in that state.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

According to the White House and CDC guidelines for Opening up America Again, employers are asked to develop and implement appropriate policies regarding

• Social distancing and protective equipment
• Temperature checks
• Sanitation
• Use and disinfection of common and high-traffic areas
• Business travel

BLACKHAWK’S RECOMMENDED ITEMS FOR REOPENING

If you’re ready to reopen, there are a few items you can buy and practices to follow that can help keep your workplace healthy and safe for employees. Some states are requiring temperature checks, for this you’ll want to buy a few touchless thermometers if you don’t already have them. Many businesses have set up check points at the beginning of shifts or at the front door for customers and/or patients. Other investments you might consider for additional protection are touchless dispensers in bathrooms – such as soap dispensers, towel dispensers, sinks and toilets – as well as touchless hand sanitizers throughout the workplace.

BlackHawk No-touch Suggestions:

• No touch digital thermometers
• Touchless soap dispensers
• Touchless towel dispensers
• Touchless sink faucets
• Touchless toilets
• Procell batteries

POWER YOUR REOPENING WITH PROCELL

While touchless items are a great way to get your business ready to reopen, most touchless products are high-drain, meaning they burn through batteries faster than other items. PROCELL Intense® batteries deliver the energy needed for longer operation of a wide range of high-drain touch-less devices, such as hand sanitizers and faucets – providing up to 50% longer lasting performance (vs. prior PROCELL AA, AAA, C, and D) and helping maintain hygiene and safety throughout your facility. PROCELL® FOR GENERAL PURPOSE batteries are completely redesigned for longer lasting, consistent performance in professional devices, and PROCELL® INTENSE POWER batteries are specifically engineered to deliver precise pulses of energy while lasting longer in high-drain professional devices.
