In line with current government guidance, Europe’s door manufacturer, Hörmann, has released a video outlining how professionals can keep themselves, their colleagues and their customers safe while installing its popular range of garage, entrance and internal doors.

Available to view on Hörmann UK’s YouTube Channel, the video provides installers with guidance on the measures they should take before, during and after an installation to ensure the wellbeing of all individuals involved.

Following processes for safe practices

This includes processes such as sending COVID-19 instructions prior to arrival, ensuring the correct PPE is available and worn at all times and a two meter distance is maintained while all work is taking place.

The video also encourages colleagues to travel in separate vehicles where possible and advises professionals not to share tools and regularly disinfect them, along with any PPE that is worn throughout the installation. Contactless handover of documentation and controls is also advised to eliminate physical contact between installers and customers.

Safety of employees, suppliers and customers

The creation of the video is part of Hörmann UK’s wider strategy to keep its employees, suppliers and customers safe during these difficult times, whilst still maintaining the same high levels of service.

David O’Mara, Marketing Manager at Hörmann UK, said: “The wellbeing of our employees, suppliers and customers will always remain our main priority. However, we also recognize the responsibilities we hold as one of the manufacturers of garage and entrance doors within the UK to provide our nationwide distributors and house builders with our high quality products. By continuing to working closely with these partners, and in line with government guidance, we can proactively facilitate demand to support the completion of ongoing construction projects, whilst also ensuring the safety of all individuals involved.”
