As the government have now given guidance for professionals who can possibly return to work, it’s important that sufficient training & guidance for working around Covid-19 has been undertaken.

In addition to our new protocols, we have put together the following checklist to assist inventory providers to stay alert when undertaking property visits and inspections.

Prompts:

  • Has a pre check been completed that includes anyone self isolating, shielding or are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19?
  • Has the property been suitably prepared for the visit to be conducted including sanitising of handles/ surfaces that you may need to touch during the inspection?
  • Have all doors and windows been opened for easy access (without compromising the security of the property) and ventilation?
  • Has safe collection/return of keys/access remotes been arranged?
  • Ensure you use disposable gloves, shoe covers and a face mask before each and every appointment 
  • Where possible; wash hands regularly and for no less than 20 continuous seconds
  • Do not touch your face, eyes, nose or mouth during/directly after the visit/inspection without washing/sanitising
  • Use hand sanitiser before and as you leave the property and before you touch your vehicle/mode of transport
  • Maintain a 2-metre distance to any persons present 
  • Wipe down equipment including phones, battery packs, keys before touching any other surfaces
