.Prada is the first in Italy to introduce a safety protocol that involves the double screening of employees. 🔐
MILAN — Italy’s prime minister Giuseppe Conte has urged citizens to be cautious as they “learn to live with the coronavirus” and the lockdown will start to be lifted beginning on May 4, and Prada Group has taken this guidance one step further.
The cost of this demanding diagnostic operation will be borne in full by Prada and in this initial phase there will be an estimated 1,000 tests per week. This will clearly rise significantly once production is back to full capacity. If any employees test positive, the company will also extend the double screening process to their family members.The possibility of employees requesting more frequent viral tests on a voluntary basis is currently being investigated.
“We therefore immediately sought advice from leading health-care facilities and from specialist pharmaceutical companies to identify the top-rated medical technology currently available to safeguard the health of our employees with these virus-screening procedures and to contain the virus. The introduction of these measures means we can now confidently restart production in Tuscany, and look forward to extending the above protocols to our plants and offices in other regions, when they reopen.
The factories in Umbria, Marche and Veneto regions partially reopened next, followed lastly by the collection and sample-making workshops in the Milan headquarters. Every day, on arrival, employees have their temperature taken and are provided with personal protective equipment to wear for the full duration of their shift. Bottles of sanitizing gel are placed near all workstations, and the rooms are sanitized twice daily. As a precautionary measure, the canteen will not operate for the first few weeks after reopening.As reported, last month Prada extended its commitment in the fight against the coronavirus spread in Italy.
