At Bartlett we are closely following the unfolding COVID-19 Pandemic to understand how it will affect our business. We have implemented the following safety measures to ensure our staff, customers, suppliers, friends and family remain healthy whilst attempting to provide uninterrupted service.

• Scrupulous hygiene practices in our Hallam office, workshop, warehouse and factory. Warehouse is handling components with rubber gloves and the recommended hand washing instructions are being observed.
• Internal and external face-to-face meetings have been replaced with other communication methods including email, phone calls, video conferencing, instant messaging.
• Social distancing in the office, workshop and warehouse. Visitors are now routed to an external warehouse door to be greeted in an open demarcated space.
• Enforcing a 14-day self-quarantine if any employee comes into direct contact with individuals that have tested positive the virus they must self-isolate per official guidelines. 
• Preparing for protracted lockdown, including planning for ongoing communications, distribution and shipping of products, ensuring necessary materials can be delivered to customers.
• Industry Classification, Bartlett is also working hard to seek clarification as to business classification ‘Support to Essential Service’ which may enable some level of service provision during a lockdown.    

We are continually monitoring the information provided and recommended via official Australian Government websites and our industry groups. Our ongoing actions will be based on the most up-to-date information. As the situation evolves, we will adjust our plans accordingly to continue to protect our employees, clients and ensure continuity of our service offering.

Bartlett will continue to place the care and safety of its employees, clients and suppliers at the forefront.

Take care of yourself and one another,

Sincerely
Allan Bartlett  
Managing Director
