In addition to multiple measures put in place in previous weeks, Lidl Northern Ireland have updated a number of protective measures in stores and regional distribution centres to ensure the health and safety of customers and employees, while continuing to ensure communities have access to food and supplies across Northern Ireland.
In stores:
Prominent signage and floor stickers around tills to encourage social distancing and contactless payments
In-store announcements and increased security to remind customers to maintain social distance
Regular spraying of store trolleys and baskets using a bio misting spray which works to kill bacteria, spores and viruses while sanitising immediately
Hand sanitiser for customer use at the entrance to all stores, as well as personal hand sanitiser issued to frontline employees
Protective face shields for frontline employees who wish to wear them
Perspex protective screens on tills
Customer and trolley sanitisation areas
Hourly cleaning of key touchpoints throughout the store
Dedicated shopping mornings for older customers in all stores until further notice
In regional distribution centres:
A vast quantity of signage to encourage social distancing
Multiple hand sanitiser stations at various points throughout the premises
Dedicated quantities of antibacterial wipes that employees are encouraged to utilise for equipment
External cleaners have been made aware of key touchpoints throughout the building and we have arranged for these to be diligently cleaned on a more frequent basis
Perspex screens have been erected in areas where employees need to interact in person with hauliers
In addition to the above, Lidl are providing daily informational updates to employees on new preventative measures, cleaning and maintenance of existing measures and reiterating Government advice on the best methods of preventing the spread of the virus.
