There are some questions that don’t come up every day. Best to contact your representative or local branch.
Q: What exactly does a Screener do?
A: Screeners set up at the entrance and ensure each employee completes a health questionnaire at the time of arrival. Then, they proceed to take each employee’s temperature 15 minutes after arrival indoors (for climatization purposes) and advise as to what the hygiene protocols are before they start their shift. As well, Screeners will follow corporate protocol to advise the employee to exit the facility and let them know where to exit in the case that an employee is presenting symptoms or is considered high risk.

Q: Why should I consider hiring a Screener?
A: With rapidly evolving infection rates, Screeners offer your workforce a certain level of peace of mind. Your workforce will feel more confident and secure coming to work — increasing retention — all while preventing outbreaks and ensuring your business continuity.

Q: How long will the screening process take?
A: In order to climatize, it takes between 10 to 15 minutes.

Q: Will it disrupt my production shifts?
A: Shift times may have to change in order to accommodate for the additional 15-minute screening. To minimize impact, structured start times by department and/or multiple set up stations may be a good option. Companies should allow a paid grace period of 15 minutes.

Q: What kind of support would Adecco provide to implement this solution?
A: Given that every client’s environment is different, an onsite needs analysis will be conducted to evaluate your workforce volume, number of entrances, etc., in order to develop an implementation methodology and set up that is unique to your worksite.

Q: Why would someone want to work as a Screener and expose themselves?
A: Actually, Screeners have the safest role. They are not on the frontline, they receive training on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and are always in PPE while working.

Q: What kind of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) would we need to provide?
A: Protective glasses, gloves, a mask and, if possible, a full body long sleeve gown.

Q: What training would a Screener undergo?
A: Training on the proper sequence to put on and take off required PPE to eliminate exposure and contamination. As well, the Screener will need training on the internal protocol guidelines as it relates to the procedure to follow should an employee present symptoms or is considered high risk.
