Antigen Rapid Test Kit

The biggest risk factor now facing reopening businesses is losing their workforce due to a suspected or confirmed Covid-19 cases in the workplace. The Irish government guidelines state that in most workplaces, those potentially exposed, but with no symptoms, should remain at home or in a comparable setting and practice social distancing for 10-14 days.

There is growing evidence of transmission risk from infected people without symptoms (asymptomatic) or before the onset of recognised symptoms (pre-symptomatic). In most cases, you may not need to shut down your facility, however, you will be required to close off any areas used for prolonged periods of time by the sick person and wait 24 hours before cleaning and disinfecting. This is done to minimise the potential for other employees being exposed to respiratory droplets.

At NorthEast Hygiene, we’ve made it simple to get your team tested and back to work in less than 30 minutes. Our Rapid Response to implementing Antigen Testing is built around on 3 Pillars (Price, Time, Training). This is what we call the ‘PTT Model’, which is critical in the successful implementation of any Mass Testing Program.

We also work with our clients to define standard operations procedures to define the logistical elements of Mass Rapid Antigen Testing such as:

1. Staffing – Site Test Managers, Test Administrations, Test Result Delivery Personnel, Incident Personnel
2. Timing – Allocation of testing windows for staff to minimise the risk of infection
3. Delivery – On Site Delivery and Waste Management
4. Incident Management Procedures
5. Result Reporting Procedures
6. Absenteeism or non-attendance procedures
7. Risk Management and Mitigation Procedures
