SegriScreen Shield - 4 simple uses for your screens post-Covid

During 2020, Klipspringer was pleased to help many companies implement safe social distancing to minimise the spread of Covid-19. Often this involved installing free-standing segregation screens, including the highly popular SegriScreen Shield.

As the vaccination programme continues and we continue to see a decline in the risk of Covid-19 transmission, this leaves many of our customers with a decision to make: what should be done with the screens now?

Option 1 – Continue using screens to protect workers

Covid hasn’t gone away altogether yet, and screens may still be a good idea to improve staff wellness going forwards - especially in factories with limited space or multiple operatives working in close proximity to each other.

Basic science suggests that screens will continue to decrease transmission of all airborne diseases, which is an obvious way to reduce sickness absenteeism. The common cold seems to come round too regularly after all!
Option 2 – Use the frames for shadow boards

Thanks to the sturdy construction of the SegriScreen Shield, its stainless steel frame can easily be reused for multiple other purposes. One of these is for tool storage – an excellent way to save time, improve organisation and implement 5S practises. This can be achieved by simply mounting a shadow board to one or both sides of the frame.

Klipspringer will customise your shadow boards however you need them, including colours, hanging systems and equipment shadows for whatever tools need a home. We can also add wheels to make a fully mobile equipment station! Hygiene equipment, production tools, thermometers, change parts, lock out kits….the options are endless.
Option 3 – Improve control with visual management

Similar to the tool storage option above, the frames can just as simply be adapted to mount KPI boards, performance trackers, signage and numerous other options. Whereas these would typically be mounted to walls, having these on mobile or free-standing stations creates a huge amount of additional flexibility, allowing the stations to be wheeled to production lines, moved for cleaning or rearranged to allow for any production changes.
Option 4 – Manoeuvrable physical barriers

The final option we learned from our customers is the option of continuing to use the screens as they are, but in a different way and not for social distancing. Some great examples of this are for blocking off areas when conducting washdowns, or cordoning off temporary engineering or maintenance work.
