What should I do if an employee receives a positive coronavirus test result?

Cases should now be managed locally via PSP with support from SHE and HR Business Partners.

If an individual has just started an absence you should enter it on PSP in ‘create absence’ select ‘Sick Coronavirus’ from the absence type drop-down box, then, for the reason code select SAU071 - Coronavirus Confirmed Case.

If you have previously recorded absence as sick absence or special leave, you will need to amend this retrospectively and update on PSP.

Where the individual has been off work for more than 5 days, there is no requirement to arrange for an additional office clean. If they have been off for less than 5 days, then an additional clean should be arranged via the P&FS Helpdesk by calling 0844 800 9191.

The two options are:
  • 1. If the individual has been off work between 2 and 5 days, then a Precautionary Clean should be requested.
    2. If the individual has been off work for less than 2 days, an Intense Disinfectant Clean should be requested.
If a vehicle cab clean is required, the vehicle should be quarantined for 72 hours (from the time the individual last used the vehicle) and you should call RM Fleet on 0345 2660005 to arrange for the vehicle to be cleaned.

If there are any operational implications, please contact CPC as usual. A managers’ guidance pack has been produced for units in this position. Your SHE Business Partner will discuss the content of this with you. This is available on the SHE Coronavirus Document Library.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Vehicle cleaning

The vehicle must be left in quarantine until the specialist clean has been undertaken.

• Where a confirmed case of Coronavirus has been identified, Regional Public health bodies will provide advice on that affected employees case and the need for cleaning of specific areas within their workplace including equipment and any vehicle use.
• RM Fleet central booking helpline should be advised as soon as a positive test case has been confirmed by the operational site, of the vehicle that requires cleaning. The booking can be contacted - RM Fleet on 0345 2660005 (select option 3)
• The vehicle must remain quarantined until the specialist clean has been undertaken.
• RM Fleet will arrange a clean / sanitisation of the vehicle by an approved sub-contractor at the RM location.
• An RM fleet approved sub-contractor will confirm a booking date for the vehicle to be sanitised.
• The sanitisation process has been approved by RM Safety.
• Additionally, all general debris & rubbish (coffee cups, something for you cards, sandwich bags) will be removed from the vehicle and doubled bagged, the bags will be left at the RM site for disposal via normal procedures.
• Other items such as clothing or RM equipment will be single bagged at left at the RM location for inspection after 72-hour quarantine.
• Line managers should make a note in the vehicle log book of the date the vehiclewas sanitised.

Note 2: Removal of debris in the vehicle is part of the standard daily check.
Note 3: the process is to sanitise and kill any virus in the vehicle, it is not a valet process

Not at all, appreciate the info very much. Just goes to show though that regards office deep cleans (guy turning up with just a mop etc), they aren't on top of these procedures nearly 4 months in.
