A NEW Decontamination Service launched by SWGR has enjoyed significant uptake in its infancy as the UK gets ready for the next phases of lockdown restrictions easing.
The Glasgow-based firm has created the new specialism, combining industry experts with proven equipment, in response to the pandemic and the challenges that has brought for firms across sectors.
In May, the first full month the new service was operational, SWGR’s team was appointed by a major UK construction business in London.
The service sees trained and protected staff access sites out with shift patterns, using a fogging technique to eliminate viruses, germs and bad bacteria from surfaces. This mitigation approach focuses on touch points and includes all electrical appliances to which there is no risk due to the density of the mist.
Terry Flynn, managing director of SWGR, said: “SWGR has a 30-year track record of helping businesses and their people enjoy success. This new Decontamination Service is designed to help them meet the very particular challenges and demands of the present day.
“Led by Neil McNaughton, the new service was busy immediately with the team deployed to assist on site at one of the biggest construction projects in the UK. As demand for the service grows, we will continue to invest in both the specialist personnel and equipment required to guarantee we deliver and give businesses the confidence they need as they gradually reopen through the phases of unlock.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
